Description:

|
Towards the end of 1922, Jacques Lipchitz was introduced to the American collector Albert C. Barnes, who commissioned him to do a series of five stone reliefs to be placed on the outer walls of his house in Marion, Pennsylvania. In 1923 Lipchitz worked on the series of high reliefs and clay trial designs for the group, part of which was Harlequin with Mandolin in Oval, an original plaster model, which was shown in the exhibition organized by Jeanne Bucher in Paris in 1930. The commission enabled the artist to go back to a line of composition involving musical instruments, reminiscent of the cubist sculptor’s earliest investigations, which Lipchitz had worked on while fully involved in the movement from 1918 to 1919.
