Description
Following the advice of Constantin Brancusi, he studied African Sculpture and in 1912 exhibited 12 stone heads whose simplified and elongated forms reflect African influence. When he returned to painting, his portraits and nudes characterized by asymmetry of composition, elongation of the figure, and a simplification of outline reflected the style of his Sculpture. By almost eliminating chiaroscuro, he achieved a sculptural quality by the strength of his contours and the richness of juxtaposed colors. In 1917 he began painting a series of female nudes that, with their warm, glowing colors and sensuous, rounded forms, are among his best works. His work reflects his lifelong admiration for Italian Renaissance masters, as well as the influence of Paul Czanne and Brancusi. He died at 35 of tuberculosis. Dimensions: Height 14 X Width 4 inches. Weight: 8 LBS.
