Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. A massive coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "This book is the most comprehensive publication to date on the work of Elie Nadelman (1882-1946), an important sculptor and a key member of the New York art scene in the first half of the 20th century. Accompanying the first major retrospective of Nadelman's work since 1975, it brings his achievement to a new generation of art enthusiasts. Nadelman fused classical influences with the subject matter and imagery of popular culture. Using bronze, marble, wood, and plaster, he created stylized, curvilinear emblems of modern life whose formal motifs referenced both the antique and the modern. Here, Barbara Haskell presents a fully researched and broad-based examination of Nadelman's art by juxtaposing his elegant drawings with related sculptures, filling a gap in the literature on 20th-century American sculpture." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Formative experiences: Poland, 1882-1903; An aesthetic emerges: Munich, 1904; Launching a career: Paris, 1904-09; Statement of aesthetic principles: Camera Work, 1910; Paterson Gallery and Helena Rubinstein: London, 1911; Success accelerates: Paris, 1912-14; Unintentional immigration and meteoric success: New York: 1914-17; Whimsical insouciance: plaster genre figures, 1917-19; Tubular modernity: wood and bronze genre figures, 1920-25; Nadelman as collector: the Museum of Folk Arts; Galvano-plastiques, 1925-27; Toward a domestic market: small-scale papier-maches and terra-cottas, 1928-35; The Depression and its consequences, 1929-35; An art of flux, anxiety, and uncertainty: miniature figurines, 1938-46.
