The exhibition Wild Thing: Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska, Gill is on from 24 October 2009—24 January 2010
explores the body of work executed by the three outstanding young sculptors; Jacob Epstein, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Eric Gill and draws on the major themes that impressed upon the men, namely sex, fertility, the human condition, the machine age and the impact of war.
The works convey the momentous sense of change taking place in London and the world at the start of the twentieth century.
It is the first time that the three artists have been shown together in this revolutionary context and many of the works have not been exhibited in London before.
The exhibition contains more than 90 works featuring mainly sculptures, drawings and pastels. No mention of type design but I'm sure it will be really interesting all the same!
