General musings on the direction of my contextual review.

After doing a brain storm on my chosen piece, the artist, its relevance, mediums used e.c.t. I  have whittled  it down to two possible directions.
  1. The context of the piece, in the sense of what it represents and the meaning behind it.
  2. The context of the piece in reflection of the artist and style.
There is the possibility that I am not quite on the right line of thinking, if this is the case any feed back would be appreciated.

And now for the finalle - Theodore the sculpture of his son that Jacob Epstein never made

My chosen piece is the beautiful and moving sculpture created by Bob and Roberta Smith in honour of Theodore Garman, Theodore the sculpture of his son that Jacob Epstein never made",Epstein's eldest son and inspiring artist in his own right, who's life and artistic career where cut short at the age of 29. I do not want to go on to much initially about this pieces as i have a great deal of emotions, views and opinions to share. I was automatically drawn to Theodore's sculpture the moment i sore it in all its simplistic honest and agonising glory, stood centre stage surrounded by cold bronze faces.
