Jacob Epstein nearly always worked with bronze, creating rough surfaces to produce expressive facial and bodily details. From 1913 to 1915, he was associated with the short-lived Vorticism movement (a type of British cubism representing the machine age). Epstein worked ‘directly’ with his materials allowing the final form to emerge through the process of carving.
