Sir Jacob Epstein (10 November 1880 – 19 August 1959) was an American-born British, who helped pioneer modern sculpture. He was born in the United States, and moved to Europe in 1902, becoming a British citizen in 1911. He often produced controversial works which challenged taboos on what was appropriate subject matter for public artworks. He also made paintings and drawings, and often exhibited his work.
I am not overly keen on the work of Epstien, i feel like it lacks a certain something that sets itself apart from other artists/sculptors, although he is clearly very skilled, his work is simply something that i don't find very inspirational to my own work.
