Squares with two circles

Mediums: bronze
Location: The Tate Gallery (London, the UK).

One of the most famous works of Barbara Hepworth, which is a geometric composition of straight lines and circles. Due to the light asymmetry of the corners and the barely noticeable convexity of the surface of the squares, the sculpture creates a feeling of naturalness and strict harmony; it attracts with its laconic simplicity and mysterious sound. Round holes are arranged in such a way that the viewer can look through them at the surrounding landscape. These peculiar portholes allow you to see the world from a completely different perspective, thus combining a man, art and nature.
