Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973) is recognized as the most significant Cubist sculptor of the twentieth century. While other contemporaries for a time explored ideas related to Cubism, it was Lipchitz who embraced the movement's language and consistently translated its ideologies into sculptural forms. Little has been written on Lipchitz's career as a whole. Jacques Lipchitz-The First Cubist Sculptor sets out to redress this. Catherine Putz presents a thorough analysis of the sculptor's career while also discussing works newly acquired by the Courtauld Gallery, London. With numerous archival photographs, some of which have never been seen before, this book provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of the twentieth century's most accomplished sculptors. Slight scratching/scuffing on cover.
