Daemons and Angels by June Rose
A biography of the controversial sculptor, Jacob Epstein. Recognized as a seminal figure in 20th-century art, his powerful and often explicit sculptures, monumental in scale, were hailed as the work of a genius by a few contemporary figures such as Ezra Pound and Augustus John, but produced hostility from the establishment. It is a comment on changing tastes that Epstein's carving in alabaster, Jacob and the Angel, once refused by the Tate Gallery, now stands in the Central Sculpture Hall of Tate Britain. His sculpture, drawing and other work is to be found in museums and art galleries all over the world.
June Rose, who has written this magnificent new biography of a now acknowledged genius, is the author of Modigliani; the Pure Bohemian, about which David Sweetman, reviewing the book for the Independent, wrote 'June Rose's superb biography...is the first to make a thorough study of his formative years.'
