49-52(Illus 23-25),etc: Epstein and Moore.
Moore came to know Epstein and his work from his first term at the Royal College of Art and Epstein's influence can be seen in Moore's early carvings. They shared an interest in the Mother and Child theme; and some comparisons are made between individual works by the two artists. Epstein recommended Moore for one of the London Underground figures, wrote about the young artist, and purchased works from Moore's Leicester Galleries exhibition (See 0009327). There are one or two other references to Moore throughout the book: the West Wind, 1928-1929 Portland stone project, and brief quotes from Moore about Epstein's collection of Primitive art, and the older artist taking the brickbats and insults.
