Jacques Lipchitz began making Cubist sculptures in 1915 and created several jointed or “detachable” wood sculptures that mimicked everyday objects and appeared as if they could be reassembled or interchanged. Although this sculpture might initially seem abstract, a face with an eye, an upraised arm, an elongated torso, and curvy, kicking legs are recognizable. Lipchitz was born into a Jewish family in Lithuania, then part of the Russian Empire. At 18, he moved to Paris and established friendships with avant-garde artists such as Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani.
