London: Embracing the Exotic: Jacob Epstein and Dora Gordine
Embracing the Exotic: Jacob Epstein and Dora Gordine
This exhibition, the fifth in the Ben Uri ongoing series 'The Whitechapel Boys', provides a unique opportunity to consider the careers of two contrasting, British-based émigré sculptors: Jacob Epstein (1880-1957) and his lesser-known female contemporary, Dora Gordine (1898-1991). The exhibition seeks to examine how both figures responded to and were inspired by non-western cultures in much of their work, to create an extraordinarily rich and sophisticated visual vocabulary, which resonates as much in today's multi-cultural society as it did in Britain some 70 years ago.
