(1903–75, DBE 1965) Sculptor of abstract forms, usually curving and sensual, who with Henry *Moore and the painter Ben *Nicholson (her husband at the time) formed in the 1930s the leading group of young British artists with an interest in abstraction. She went fully in this direction while Moore retained a strong figurative element. From 1939 she lived at *St Ives; her studio (where she died in a fire) and her garden are now a museum.
