Description: Gaston Lachaise, The Man and His Work by Gerald Nordland New York, George Braziller, 1974, 184 pages including Epilogue, Notes, Selected Bibliography, Illustrated with 95 fabulous black and white plates, Frontispiece (photo of Gaston Lachaise taken by Paul Strand in 1927), Hardcover cloth boards, Pictorial Dust jacket.Gerald Nordland combines a brief biography with a critical examination of the themes that recur throughout Lachaise's brilliant and extraordinary work. Lachaise's most famous work, Standing Woman (1932), typifies the image that Lachaise worked and reworked: a voluptuous female nude with sinuous, tapered limbs. Lachaise was also known as a brilliant portraitist. He executed busts of famous artists and literary celebrities, such as Georgia O'Keeffe, John Marin, Marianne Moore and e e cummings. (Many of these portraits are represented in this book). In 1935, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City held a retrospective exhibition of Lachaise's work, the first at that institution for any American sculptor.
