{"product_id":"jacob-epstein-9780691029450","title":"Jacob Epstein","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacob Epstein (1880-1959) was a pioneer of modern sculpture in Britain. Yet he always felt an outsider in his adopted country  subjected as he was to relentless attacks and vilification. With his determination to break the taboos surrounding the depiction of sexuality  and his use of expressive distortion of the figure in a manner modeled more on non-Western art than the classical ideal  he aroused hostility throughout his career. Such controversy has meant that considerable attention is paid to certain aspects of Epsteins long and productive career  while in other respects the true nature of his overall achievement has been overlooked. This book intends to redress the balance. It provides a fascinating account of a sculptor who had a profound influence on successive generations of artists--not only for his carving but also for his courage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924768391221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691029458","price":101.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691029450.jpg?v=1794140550","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/jacob-epstein-9780691029450","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
