Cleaning Lady in Museum of Modern Art, NYC, Photo by Fritz Henle, 1948
Gaston Lachaise (FR, 1882 - 1935)
Standing Woman (torso study). Full body bronze created 1955-56
A “Torso II” (no hands), was exhibited at MoMA in 1935, so this is between ‘35 and ‘48
Beginning in 1912, Gaston Lachaise began modeling standing figures inspired by his voluptuous American lover (and wife by 1917), Isabel Nagle.
