!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and Torso in Metal from Rock Drill - Jacob Epstein 1913-1916. Kind of like if Giger was a tad more Streamline Moderne. (Also, read up on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , then re-watch the intro to Jeeves & Wooster - fun.)

Groovy. Not sure I'd put the second in my house, though, 'coz it ain't swoopy and angular. The Epstein I probably would, odd para-sexual virility metaphors notwithstanding.

The Epstein is pretty extraordinary, not least because it in no way looks like a century old work of art. Much as I like both, I wouldn't have either in my house. Because nightmares... But, Giacometti...

I suppose with a Giger piece, you get a sense of what the artist is afraid of - Epstein, maybe what the artist should be afraid of and isn't, or even why you should be afraid of the artist. Then again, it's more creepy than it would be otherwise simply because we've had time to re-adopt the "ultimately, technology and the inhuman is kind of scary" approach a bit compared to the early (pre-war) teens, which (history repeating itself) got a bit transhumanist in places.
Then again, the best test is probably "would it absolutely frighten the *shit* out of a kid bumping into it in the dark". To that, the answer is, "without a doubt - psych visits for YEARS".
