Schinman, New Jersey, 1970, illustration of another cast p. 59 Evelyn Silber, The Sculpture of Epstein, London, 1986, no. 262, illustration of another cast p. 180 Kathleen Garman was Epstein's long time mistress and eventually his second wife. They met in 1921 at one of the west end clubs frequented by the bohemian art set. She was twenty, whilst Epstein was forty and married. He asked her to model for him and they immediately began a relationship. They had three children together, Theodore, Kitty and Esther. Kitty went on to become the first wife of painter Lucian Freud. Epstein and Garman married in 1955, seven years after the death of his wife Margaret. The present work is one of seven bronze sculptures that Epstein produced of Kathleen and one of the largest and most accomplished. Epstein chose his models for their physiognomic or psychological interest and included women from all nationalities and backgrounds including a girl from Baku. Epstein didn't respond to the demand from his dealers for small nudes and continued to sculpt portrait busts of females of distinctive beauty. Epstein constructed his busts by focusing on acute observation and by selecting certain characteristics he was able to show the personality and layer beneath the beauty. Please note it has been suggested that this work has been cast outside of the edition of 4 λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.
