About this Work

Alexander Archipenko, who lived in Paris from 1908 to 1921, is known for his application of Cubism to sculpture. This bronze of a draped woman has a streamlined form that also foreshadows the Art Deco style of the 1920s. Archipenko’s varied interests in modernism as well as ancient and Byzantine art provide some explanation for his unique style.
