“I made and mounted a machine-like robot, visored, menacing, and carrying within itself its progeny, protectively ensconced. Here is the armed, sinister figure of today and tomorrow. No humanity, only the terrible Frankenstein’s monster we have made ourselves into…” (J. Epstein)

I saw a reproduction of it at The Tate, Liverpool, Federico. It is a hugely imposing and powerful piece of work.
