| Summary |
"In this book Anne Middleton Wagner offers a new reading of the sculpture of Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Jacob Epstein. Looking again at key carvings by each, Wagner brings to light their shared avant-garde materialism, and insists we take seriously the common theme running through their work and so much other art of the period: the passionate bonding of mother and child."--BOOK JACKET |
