As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the #NHS, if you've never seen them, you should check out #BarbaraHepworth's amazing Hospital Drawings (made around the birth of he NHS) & partly prompted by her own family's experience with #hospitals in the 1940s/50s.
Her #drawings are a wonderful meditation on #surgery & its depiction...

Here's a #postcard used by Southampton University at some point 1993-2008 to thank donors to a fundraising campaign.
Its strategy is now simply called "An excellent future" so clearly the previous version - "Towards an Excellent Future" - succeeded in getting the university there.
The sculpture is Two Figures by Barbara Hepworth

And it was Barbara Hepworth’s birthday on the 10th too - another of my favourite sculptors. 20thC sculpture is a bit of an obsession tbh. https://barbarahepworth.org.uk/ #sculpture #BarbaraHepworth #20thCsculpture #art

The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden in St Ives, Cornwall is well worth a visit, especially when it’s out of season and crowd free.

2/Re #InterwarYorkshire I know of no general account (pls let me know if you learn of one!) Am relying on novels, memoirs & biogs:
*Winifred Holtby's South Riding (1935); great on local politics. *Lettice Cooper's Leeds novel, National Provincial (1938), similarly. *Caroline Maclean's Circles and Squares (2020) on #HenryMoore, #BarbaraHepworth & #HerbertRead.
*#EdCaesar's #Moth&theMountain, on the eccentric Maurice Wilson, Bradford manufacturer's son. What a read!
