And There Was Sculpture describes the personal and intellectual background of Jacob Epstein's artistic development, from his
childhood in New York, studies in Paris, and struggle in London until the end of the 1920s, when he reached both artistic maturity and personal fulfillment. It is an unconventional biography, revealing the public face and private personality, the so-called "Two Epsteins" of the sculptural expression, the universality and the Jewish culture of its content.
