France, 20th century, 1917
Sculpture, brass
without base: 63.82 x 30.48 x 19.05 cm (25 1/8 x 12 x 7 1/2 inches)
Cleveland Museum of Art

This piece is called 'Male Torso', completed in 1917
It is one of a series of torsos I produced between 1909 and the 1920's.
Although greatly simplified, it is still recognizable as a human figure.
The smooth and highly polished surface is fundamental to my goal of
unifying the body's component parts into a continuous single surface.

It is displayed in Cleveland Museum Of Art (US) currently.
I have created several versions of 'Male Torso'
ranging from wood (created from maple) to the one
shown above (polished brass). In fact, the
'Male Torso' in Cleveland is the only one created
from polished brass.
