Jewish and of Lithuanian descent, Jacques Lipchitz was a refugee artist who came to Paris at the ideal moment for Cubism to emerge from the early 20th-century European avant-garde. When we think of Cubist sculpture, the works of Lipchitz emerge as exemplars of the style translated into three dimensions. Later, the second time Lipchitz fled for his life at the beginning of WWII, he left behind a less abstract style and, in a major career-changing transformation, began producing larger-scale sculptures in bronze. Later still, the work of the ever-dynamic Lipchitz had become increasingly emotionally expressive, often incorporating themes from Judaism. Towards the end of his lengthy life and international travels, Lipchitz can be considered one of the most important contributors to the Cubist movement and modern sculpture. ***Shipping from Canada.
