Description:
|
|
In the late 1920's and 1930's Laurens readily admitted that he was now more inclined to abandon himself to subconscious inspiration, starting a sculpture with only a vague idea of his intended imagery and giving the work its title on completion. Like the series of Bathers painted by Picasso at Dinard in 1928-1929 or certain sculptures by Hans Arp, Laurens’s figures obey only an organic rhythm, which swells or lifts them, hollows or magnifies them in a joyful impulse.
