Behold the Man' and the Sculptor Jacob Epstein is a 1950 photographic by James Jarché, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black-and-white photo shows a man sitting next to a large, rough-hewn sculpture. The sculpture has a strong, angular face with deep carvings around the eyes and mouth. The man is dressed in a jacket and tie, looking thoughtfully at the sculpture’s hand, which rests on its knee. The photo’s title hints this is a sculptor studying his own work. The rough texture of the sculpture stands out against the smoothness of the man’s clothing. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
