Who is the great Epstein?
Upvote:7
If wrtten in 1939, it almost certainly refers to the scuptor Jacob Epstein.
There was a limerick popular around then:
There’s a notable family named Stein,
There’s Gert and there’s Ep and there’s Ein.
Gert’s prose is all bunk,
Ep’s sculpture’s just junk
And nobody understands Ein.
