The great names of today were unknown a decade ago. The post-impressionist sculptors who have received the critical accolade ? men whose work would be incomprehensible to a Canova or a Thorwaldsen ? are Aristide Maillol, whom Clive Bell, English oracle of modernism, Sheldon Cheney and many others consider the greatest sculptor alive; Bourdelle and Gaudier, other Frenchmen; Jacob Epstein (an American, by the way) and Eric Gill, an Englishman; Grancusi, Bohemian carver of geometrical solids...
