DescriptionAM/3/A-E Inscribed in pen and black ink, l.r., "Archipenko."
Label TextArchipenko was a sculptor noted for his stylistic versatility. In his own work and his teaching, he represented the neoclassical sculptural style of his time as well as Cubism. The artist espoused his ideas and techniques at his own successful art school in Paris. Then, in 1923, he immigrated to New York where he widely exhibited his work and reopened his school, helping to bring modernism to American sculpture.ProvenanceYvonne Coporon, Worcester, MA
