More Information
The three parts of Social Consciousness are (left to right) The Great Consoler (or Compassion), The Eternal Mother (or Destiny) and Succor (or Death). Epstein was a controversial sculptor. Some critics said his distorted figures looked unnatural, while others praised them as timeless.

At the museum’s West Entrance, the elongated figures of Jacob Epstein’s Social Consciousness suggest sympathy, tenderness and sorrow for human suffering.
