"Elie Nadelman (1882-1946) is universally recognized as one of America's greatest twentieth-century sculptors. Born in Poland, Nadelman spent his aesthetically formative years in Paris developing a style of classical harmony and elegant refinement. His first one man show at Galeric Druct in 1939 was an overnight sensation, catapulting the artist to a position of renown within the Parisian art world.
His transformation of classical principles into a modernist idiom sought the attention and respect of a large group of patrons and critics - from Leo and Gertrude Stein to Andre Gide and Alexander Archipenko.".
"This catalogue, which accompanies the first major retrospective of Nadelman's work since 1975, brings his achievement to a new generation of art enthusiasts. Barbara Haskell's fully researched and broad-based examination of Nadelman's art and life provides a new view of this important artist, filling a gap in the literature on twentieth century American sculpture."--BOOK JACKET.
