Description:
A series of small studies of female nudes, executed in terra cotta (fired but unglazed clay) from a poured mold. The clay castings (done in 1967, after Laurens death) were based on original plaster maquettes. Laurens returned to sculpture in the round in 1919. After WWI, Laurens rejoined his painter friends (including Braque and Picasso) at the Galerie Simon, which was reopened by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler on his return from exile in Switzerland. Until the mid-1920s Laurens continued to work in a Cubist manner, gradually toning it down. He abandoned the strict geometry of his still-lifes and devoted himself almost exclusively to the female figure. These figures were all donated to the museum by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler.
