ELIE NADELMAN
Female Head, Draped.

Etching, circa 1920. 105x68 mm; 4 1/4x2 5/8 inches, full margins.

Known primarily for his modernist sculptures of female heads and nudes, Nadelman (1882-1946) was a Polish born artist who spent the last decades of his life in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx. His works display his interest in classical sculpture and European Folk Art, combined with the Cubist influences he gained through his relationships with avant-garde artists like Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, whom he met while living in Paris from 1904 to 1914.
