 Jacques Lipchitz, The First Cubist Sculptor
Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973) is recognised as the most significant Cubist sculptor of the twentieth century.
Taking nothing but one or two maquettes, Lipchitz successfully rebuilt his career and became recognised as the grand old man of Cubism and a pioneer in a new cross-cultural view of art - he was one of the first to suggest a dialogue between outdoor monumental sculpture and its surrounding environment or architecture.
While Lipchitz’s huge contribution to twentieth-century sculpture cannot be doubted, little has been written on his career as a whole.

Lipchitz is perhaps best known for the Cubist work he made in Paris in the 1910s, and the Museum owns several important examples, including Sailor with Guitar (1914) and Woman with Braid (1914), both conceived during a trip to Spain in the company of the Mexican painter Diego Rivera.
During and after the Second World War Lipchitz tried to give artistic expression to the turbulence and suffering of the preceding decade by modeling a number of mythological and biblical groups that are characterized by Baroque pathos and highly expressive gestures.
