Date
1923-1925Description
Detail, showing the stylized arms and hand; In 1917-1918 he abandoned the austere purity that had characterized much of his recent work and created clearly legible Cubist subjects: bathers, musicians, harlequins and still-lifes. The sculpture also reflects Lipchitz’s renewed interest in frontality, an aspect of Egyptian and archaic sculpture that he greatly admired.
