{"title":"SKEAPING, JOHN","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Skeaping\u003c\/strong\u003e (1901–1980) was a British sculptor celebrated for his elegant, dynamic depictions of animals, especially horses. A founding member of the modernist group associated with the early Tate circles, he was married briefly to fellow sculptor Barbara Hepworth, with whom he shared a commitment to direct carving. Skeaping worked in stone, wood, and bronze, combining anatomical accuracy with a graceful, streamlined modern style. Throughout his career, he exhibited widely and became a respected teacher at the Royal College of Art. His sculptures capture both the physical power and quiet dignity of animals, making him a defining figure in 20th-century British sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/collections\/skeaping-john.oembed","provider":"Hickmet Fine Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
