Bust of Winston Churchill (Epstein) Bust of Winston Churchill (Epstein) Jacob Epstein's bronze bust of Winston Churchill was completed in 1947. Epstein was commissioned by the War Artists Advisory Committee to create a sculpture of former British prime minister Winston Churchill in August 1945, after the end of the Second World War and shortly after Churchill lost the 1945 UK general election. Two casts have been displayed in the Oval Office. Another remains on display in the atrium of Churchill College, Cambridge. Epstein applied to become a British official war artist after he was conscripted in the First World War, but his application was rejected.

Barbara Hepworth died in an accidental fire at her Trewyn studios on 20 May 1975 at the age of 72.
