Mr. Epstein should think, not only of the so-called intellectuals who, to flatter him, may profess to see, in his monumental abstractions, merits denied to ordinary eyes, but also of the generality of people who, not being constituted on the same lines, cannot view his assaults on traditional conceptions with cold, cynical or amused detachment, He should think of the feelings of the average child who, seeing in some paper a reproduction of this effigy, may be frighted to learn that it is a well-known sculptor's 1955 version of Jesus, If Mr. Epstein replies that he does not work for children, then I make bold to ask: Wherein is he more greatly privileged than those inspired masters whose glorious paintings of Christ enrich the National Gallery, just a few hundred yards from where his own oppressive marble stands on exhibition ?
