Description:
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. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordar…
