Description:
The only statue by Epstein (that we could find) on display in London. Jan Smuts was leader of South Africa for 14 years (1919-1924 and 1939-1948) and argued against the segregation of races (coining the terms ‘apartheid’ and ‘holistic’). Here, Epstein has him poised with the lightness of an ice skater, in contrast to the nearby lumbering bulk of Smuts’ former commander, Winston Churchill. Smuts looks resolutely forward to a less divided South Africa, while keeping one foot in the imperialistic past.
