Head of a Woman (1926)<br />
Henry Moore<br />
Barbara <strong>Hepworth</strong> and Henry Moore were both born in <strong>Wakefield</strong> district – just five years<br />
and a few miles ap<strong>art</strong>. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hepworth</strong> <strong>Wakefield</strong> will show a significant collection of work by<br />
both <strong>art</strong>ists, including sculptures and drawings from some of the most important stages in<br />
their careers. Head of a Woman shows the influence of ancient Mexican stone carving that<br />
Moore became attracted to while studying at the Royal College of Art, where he and<br />
<strong>Hepworth</strong> were contemporaries.
