Jacob Epstein, Eric Gill andHenri Gaudier-Brzeska are the fathers ofmodern British sculpture. In a sustained burst of daring creativity before the FirstWorldWar, they revolutionised their field. In this compelling study, Richard Cork tells the story of these remarkable figures, exploring the idea of wildness that lay at the centre of their artistic creed. Looking far beyond the classical canon to gain inspiration fromwhat Gaudier-Brzeska called the barbaric peoples of the earth (for whomwe have sympathy and admiration), the three artists produced work whose sexual explicitness and boldness of formshocked contemporary viewers. Spectacular examples of these sculptures illustrate Corks text, including Epsteinsmasterpiece, Rock Drill and Gaudier-Brzeskasmonumental bust of Ezra Pound.
