Footnote
“...I learnt the métier of ‘busting’ from Jacob Epstein – hence bustier in French, and always in bronze. In contrast to the slow contemplative process of stone carving, the bust is modelled at white heat before the sitter has time to get bored so as to animate the portrait with the nervosity of life.”
