Favorites by Henry Moore and others.

Henry Moore's "Family"

Jacques Lipchitz "Dance" 1936

Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973) was a Cubist sculptor from Lithuania.  He moved to Paris where he became friends of Juan Gris, Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani.  Modigliani painted a portrait of Jacques and his wife Bertha in 1916.  The painting hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago and a photo of the painting is in my Art Institute blog.

Aristide Maillol's "Mountain", 1937
Aristide Maillol lived from 1861 to 1944 and was a French Catalan sculptor, painter and printmaker

Aristide Maillol's "River, 1939-43

The subject of nearly all of Maillol's mature work is the female body.  His work is seen as a precursor to the work of Henry Moore.
