Born in 1880, this American-English sculptor trained in Paris and became a significant figure in modern sculpture. Early works were heavily influenced by the naturalistic style but gradually evolved towards abstraction. Notable works include 'Eve and the Serpent', a powerful representation of biblical themes, and various public monuments, such as the Holborn Viaduct memorial in London. Epstein's style often combined elements of the human form with expressionist tendencies, creating pieces noted for their emotional depth. Later in life, he produced numerous busts and reliefs, including portraits of famous personalities. He also played a role in the artistic community in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
