LONDON — Art in Britain
has suffered an “incalculable
loss” by the death at his Lon:
don home August 19 at the
age of 78 of Sir Jacob Epstein,
the sculptor.

“He was by far the: great-
est portrait sculptor Of his
time,” said Sir’John Rothen-
stein, director of the Tate Gal-
lery, when the, news~of Ep-
stein’s death was ° announced.

Often described, as the most
controversial artist ever, . Ep-

by newspapers, church bodies,.
and a mixture. “of fanatics
throughout his - ffiore. than a
half-century of working life.
But through his. aipmense fig-
ures from ““Adam”-to the most
recent ‘‘Christ in “Majesty” at-
there was no big AMsying for
the critics.
His more

men. of his day, from Churchill
to the Dean of Cantetbury, al-
so brought him fame.

ing enough money to go to
Paris, he studied there and
later ‘settied in England.

By 1907 he became news.
His group of figures, commis-
sioned by the British Medical
Association for their new
building in Agar Street, was

attacked by church bodies” and ie

newspapers.
A later statue, ‘‘Behold: ‘the:

in marble” by ‘the.
Times.. Epstein. retorted that
such charges made him think
of “the days of witchcraft .and
the auto-da-fe.”

- Later obscurantism had its
victory. when permission. to
place this statue in Selby Ab-

bey, Yorkshire, was refused by |

the chancellor of the diocese.

Epstein was said to hate
controversy, but he knew his
own ‘mind. “I am interested in
humanity and ‘the sculptural
form and not in the abstract,”
he said.

In 1953, offering one of his
works to an Artists for Peace
Exhibition, he said, briefly:

“All Beople should work for
peace.”
