Exhibition of sculptures and drawings by Gaston Lachaise : Bourgeois Galleries ... January 31st to February 21st, 1920
An exhibition catalogue issued by the Bourgeois Galleries in New York in 1920, presenting sculptures and drawings by the French-American sculptor Gaston Lachaise for a gallery-going public. The two pictures are black-and-white photographs of white plaster or marble figures set against dark drapery, showing a standing male figure lifting a female figure and a full-length nude standing with arms raised. A designer could take from them the strong simplified volumes, smooth modelled surfaces, and dramatic silhouettes of early modernist figure sculpture.
