Pp. 44-48, "The Primitive Within: The Question of Race in Epstein's Career, 1917-1929," by Elizabeth Barker, examines the factor of antisemitism and racial prejudice in the criticism of Jacob Epstein's (1880-1959) sculpture, especially in the period following World War I which saw a rise in antisemitism in Great Britain. Gives examples of references to Epstein's "racial art, " his preference for the primitive, attacks on his art as an example of an international Jewish conspiracy in the arts, and his unsuitability as a Jew to portray Christian themes.

Book excerpt: "Jacob Epstein (1880-1959), though born in New York, was the most important British sculptor of the early twentieth century. Henry Moore is one among many who have acknowledged the positive role he played in their careers. Yet few artists have roused such passionate controversy over their work or suffered so many vociferous attacks from public and critics alike: charges ranged from obscenity and barbarism to belated romanticism. As Moore neatly put it, 'He took the brickbats . . . and as far as sculpture in this century is concerned, he took them first.' Epstein was a modern pioneer of direct carving and one of the first to collect and appreciate the function and form of primitive sculpture. However, as the author demonstrates in her introduction to Epstein's artistic career, critical hostility and the lack of public commissions made carving and collecting increasingly private obsessions, while his income and fame rested on portraiture. At a period when his traditional, humanistic approach was being superseded by new philosophies and new material, Epstein came to be regarded as one of the few sculptors capable of creating a portrait which was far more than a mere likeness. This is the first major critical study and documented catalogue of Epstein's sculpture. His whole output of more than 500 sculptures is described, with supporting information on first exhibitions, provenances, and bibliography. Whenever possible, each entry is accompanied by at least one illustration for reference, while 50 full-page plates evoke the profound spirit of Epstein's best work." -- Publisher's description

Book excerpt: Jacob Epstein and Dora Gordine were members of the group of talented Anglo-Jewish artists - the Whitechapel Boys and their associates - who were all born, raised or worked in London's East End during the first three decades of the twentieth century. They had a significant impact on twentieth-century British art and their contribution to British Modernism was especially valuable. This fascinating comparison of two contrasting British-based emigre sculptors examines how both figures responded to and were inspired by non-Western cultures in much of their work to create an extraordinarily rich and sophisticated visual vocabulary, which resonates as much in today's multicultural society as it did some seventy years ago. An illuminating introduction by Sir Anthony Caro and contributions from scholars including the writer and critic Richard Cork, Dr. Jonathan Black, current AHRB Research Fellow at Kingston University (home of the Gordine archive), Brenda Martin, Curator, Dorich House, and Victor Arwas, writer, gallerist and collector uncover new insights into hitherto little-researched aspects of Epstein's career, and rediscover the long-neglected talents of Gordine. Published in collaboration with the Ben Uri Gallery, the publication coincides with an exhibition of the sculpture, ethnographic pieces and works on paper of the artists at the Ben Uri Gallery, the London Jewish Museum of Art.
