Jacob Epsteindrawings and sculptureAuckland City Art GalleryMarch-April 1961
FOREWORDSir Jacob Epstein died in 1959. This exhibition has been arranged tocommemorate his life work. Although no large works are included, itrepresents his art from his early years to the Cavendish SquareMadonna. This is also the first exhibition to be devoted entirely to thesculptor's work in the Antipodes, so that the works here will serve adouble service — they will be both a memorial and an introduction to avery great artist.Jacob Epstein, like Manet before him, withstood the onslaught ofpublic opposition to progress in contemporary sculpture in Britain. Hisintegrity, his honesty and artistic powers, gave him the necessarycourage. We hope that this exhibition will provide ample evidence ofthe humanity and great sculptural sensibility of Sir Jacob Epstein.We owe a particular debt of gratitude tc^fLady Kathleen Epstein forher Introduction and for her generous loans and help. To Mr ArnoldHaskell and Mr K. Webster we are also most grateful for the loan of somany works. Our thanks are due as well to the other private and publiclenders included in the index at the end of this catalogue.P. A. TomoryMarch, 1961
