Barbara A. Wood Furniture
American, b. 1926
Barbara A. Wood (American, b. 1926) was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. Raised by her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, the personalities and hardships within each woman became the catalyst for her art. As an only child and quite often bedridden with bouts of pneumonia, Barbara spent most of her time painting alone. She attended school in Toledo and graduated from high school with a scholarship to Traphagen School of Fashion in New York. Her instructors found her work so creative and expressive that they encouraged her to pursue fine arts. She enrolled and completed her formal studies at the Art Students League in New York. She later married and moved to Southern California. She began postgraduate studies at the Otis Art Institute and the Pasadena School of Fine Arts.
Wood has had major one-person shows throughout the United States, Australia, Canada, and London. Her works are part of the collections of numerous celebrities as well as private collections throughout the world. Her paintings are in the collections of the King of Saudi Arabia, President George H. W. Bush, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue, Elizabeth Taylor, Hugh Hefner, Jane Seymour, Jerry Lewis, Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke, Dennis Weaver, Art Linkletter, Ron Howard, Gavin MacLeod, and many others.
Artist’s Statement: Painting, to me, is a joy, a challenge, a fulfillment, and a love affair. It is a vehicle for expressing impressions I have drawn from a tangible world, where color is the music of painting.to

She lost only to sculptor John Skeaping, with whom she began a relationship. The pair traveled to Siena and Rome and were married in 1925 in Florence. During her time in Italy, Hepworth studied under sculptor Giovanni Ardini and learned how to carve marble. Upon her return to London, Hepworth and Skeaping began to publicly exhibit their work from their flat until their divorce in 1929.

- Did Barbara Hepworth use clay?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Yes, Barbara Hepworth did use clay.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Barbara Hepworth sculptures have holes in them because the sculptor was interested in how three-dimensional artworks interact with the spaces in which they are displayed.

In addition, Hepworth stated that she liked those gazing at her work to be able to see the inside and outside of her sculptures simultaneously. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Barbara Hepworth art.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024Barbara Hepworth used bronze for a few reasons. Hepworth intended for some pieces to be displayed outdoors and bronze is a weather-ready material.

In addition, brass enabled Hepworth to quickly make multiple editions of the same work. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Barbara Hepworth art.
