About the Item

Gaston Lachaise Female Nude Signed lower left Charcoal on paper 18 x 12 inches Provenance Private Collection, Maine Jonathan Berger, Santa Fe, New Mexico Gaston Lachaise studied at the Ecole Bernard Palissy and the Académie Nationale des Beaux-Arts in his native Paris. A year's employment with René Lalique provided passage money, and in 1906, with thirty dollars in his pocket and no knowledge of English, he traveled to Boston in pursuit of the woman who would later become his wife and frequent model. After six years of work on Civil War memorial statues with Henry Hudson Kitson, he became Paul Manship's assistant in New York. His real breakthrough came when he met Arthur B. Davies, who invited Lachaise's participation in the 1913 Armory Show. In New York, Lachaise was soon involved in progressive art circles. As president of the Society of Independent Artists, he worked with Walter Pach, John Sloan, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Robert Henri, and other influential artists. Although during the early 1920s Lachaise frequently sculpted animal and bird themes, he is best known for his portraits and for his sensuous, full-figured women. He executed commissions for the American Telephone and Telegraph and RCA buildings in New York, and created the National Coast Guard Memorial in Washington, D. C.
