Let There Be Sculpture
About this book
A guide to sculpture from around the world, including chapters on New York 1880-1902, the thirty years war, the tomb of Oscar Wilde, the Hudson memorial and much more.
Sir Jacob Epstein, (1880-1959) was an American-born British sculptor who helped pioneer modern sculpture. He was born in the States, and moved over to Europe in 1902, and became a British citizen in 1911.
He regularly produced controversial works which challenged taboos on what was appropriate subject matter for public art.
