Hospital works

[edit]

Between 1947 and 1949, Hepworth's daughter was being treated at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital (now part of the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital) in Exeter.[4] Norman Capener, the surgeon, was an artist and a friend of Hepworth's, and invited her to draw in the operating theatre; Capener also probably introduced Hepworth to Garnett Passe, an ENT surgeon working in London, whose operations she also drew. Hepworth ended up creating around 80 works of nurses and surgeons at work.[4][5] These works have been noted for their particular focus on the hands of the health workers.[4][6]

Works are listed in date order; if only the year or month is known, the work is listed at the end of that period and ordered by catalog number.
