EPSTEIN'S 5-TON SECRET

23 YEARS OF HIS ART IN. A 7-FOOT STATUE

Jacob Epstein's latest secret is out. It is "Primeval Gods," a great seven-foot square slab of white stone sculptured front, and back.

The back is Epstein of 1910; the front is Epstein of 1832. It is not often that an artist can show 23 years development of his art on the same exhibit as he does in this huge double relief, which is de stined to be the central and the most controversial subject in his exhibition at the Leicester Gal l'eries.

Epstein began work on the back of the slab as a comparatively un- known man of thirty, and sculp tured a nude figure of the Sun God with arms and legs outstret ched, a figure expressive of the joy of life and conforming strictly to
