Em "Torso in Metal from `The Rock Drill', 1913-14", uma criatura meio humana, meio máquina, um ser híbrido pressagia as fantasias da ficção científica das décadas que se seguiram. Representando a fase mais experimental de Epstein, as arestas duras e dinâmicas desta escultura de bronze refletem o interesse generalizado dos artistas deste período pelas formas progressivas da nova idade da mecânica. Originalmente, esta peça fazia parte de uma construção robótica maior, que fora recebida com enorme escárnio em 1915, data da sua primeira exibição. O próprio Epstein perdeu a fé naquela obra e retirou todos os apêndices do torso, quando o exibiu novamente em 1916. Em 1912 conheceu Picasso, Brancusi e Modigliani. Seria este encontro - a par da descoberta da escultura antiga e primitiva do Museu do Louvre - que o inspiraria ao longo de toda a sua carreira. Em 1913, Epstein formou o breve movimento vanguardista Vorticismo, em conjunto com Gaudier-Brzeska. Nascido em Nova Iorque de pais russo-judaicos, Epstein é também conhecido pelos seus penetrantes e psicológicos retratos esculturais. Jacob Epstein nasceu en Nova Iorque (EUA) em 1880 e morreu em Londres (GB) em 1959.

Jacob Epstein 1880-1959 - Jacob Epstein made his name as a sculptor of monuments and portraits, and as an occasional painter and illustrator. In his lifetime he championed many of the concepts central to modernist sculpture, including 'truth to material', direct carving, and inspiration from so-called primitive art, all of which became central to twentieth-century practice. Epstein was born on 10 November 1880 in New York, of Polish-Jewish parentage. He attended art classes at the Art Students League c.1896 and then went to night school c.1899 where he began sculpting under George Grey Bernard. On the proceeds of illustrating Hutchins Hapgood's The Spirit of the Ghetto (1902) he was able to go to Paris and spent six months at the -55cole des Beaux-Arts, and afterwards studied at the Acad-23mie Julian. Epstein settled in London in 1905 and became a British citizen in 1907. He met Picasso, Brancusi, Modigliani in Paris in 1912-13. He then returned to England and worked near Hastings from 1913 to 1916. Epstein became a founding member of the London Group in 1913, and that same year had his first solo show at the Twenty-One Gallery, Adelphi, London. Thereafter he exhibited mainly at the Leicester Galleries. After 1916 he lived and worked in London for the rest of his life. He briefly visited New York in 1927, to attend his one-man show at the Ferragil Gallery. The Arts Council honoured him with a retrospective exhibition at the Tate Gallery in 1953. He was knighted in 1954 and died in London on 19 August 1959.
