Ossip Zadkine (1890-1967)

Kneeling Nude

1920 | bronze | 100 × 50 × 35 cm

Produced in 1920, this kneeling female nude with crossed arms embodied a new unique direction for Ossip Zadkine.

This female figure demonstrates Zadkine's appreciation of Cubism and his zeal for developing his own style. The severe, static forms made famous by Picasso and Braque were softened up in Zadkine's hands.
