On the 2nd of March I visited the Bill Brandt and Henry Moore exhibition at The Hepworth Wakefield.
Bill Brandt was a photographer who met Henry Moore (a sculptor) during the Second World War. Together, they created images of people sheltering underground during the Blitz. The exhibition comprises of 200 works, and ties together photography, sculpture, drawings and collage. Brandt’s and Moore’s shared interests of labour, society, industry, the British landscape and the human body are present in their work. On display are Moore’s Reclining Figure sculptures and photo collages, and Brandt’s imagery of coal miners and their families in Durham and Yorkshire, as well as his colour transparencies.
Visiting the exhibition encouraged me to think about how I could collaborate with other artists working across different mediums on projects, as I admired how much depth had been achieved on the subject by the practitioners working together. I also like how a varied response to a subject can be achieved through combining different artistic mediums, and I am more than interested in collaborating with artists working across different disciplines on future projects.
