The article presents information about British sculptor Jacob Epstein born in the U.S. Most of his models have been women, whom he represents with direct and intimate realism. There is nothing slick about his strongly modeled heads. Epstein has transformed them into hard-bitten bronze, whose color and texture vary according to the nature of the portrait. He avoids the expected nude, preferring to concentrate upon a head. Even where the figure rises from the waist, the head emerges with an effect of massive climax, weighted like life and charged with personality.
