Priododd Barbara Hepworth â Ben Nicholson ym 1932 ac roedd wedi ymsefydlu fel arlunydd Haniaethol digyfaddawd erbyn 1950. Ym 1954-5 cerfiodd nifer o gerfluniau haniaethol gyda theiliau Groegaidd o lwyth o ddwy dunnell ar bymtheg o bren caled o Nigeria. Mae'r rhain ymhlith ei gweithiau mwyaf urddasol a thelynegol, a chawsant eu hysbrydoli gan dirwedd a hynafiaethau Gwlad Groeg. Delos yw safle ogof Apollo a hefyd yr ynys y mae'r Cyclades yn gorwedd ol hamgylch ar ffurf cylch hirgrwn.

This prominent reference to Ben Nicholson may have related to another display of his work from which the above information is derived. However, your comment is valid and we will look into it.

I find it unbelievable that in the 21st century an institution such as the National Museum of Wales chooses to open its biographical comment about a female artist by stating who she was married to. Although a significant fact, Hepworth does not need to be defined by who she was married to in my opinion

A fantastic sense of peace, solidity, scale and grace in this great example of Hepworth's wooden sculpture. It would be great to have other Hepworth in the collection and also her first husband John Skeaping. Also in view of the influence on David Nash and others and complement the early 20th C collection (Gaudier-Breska) to purchase a work by Brancusi a wooden sculpture or if that's impossible at least one of his own photographs...
