RESEARCH- Alexander


("Woman Combing Her Hair" left, "Woman" right)

Alexander Archipenko’s work caught my eye for one reason, and one reason only and that is because it reminds me of Picasso’s art. His sculptures deal with many simple shapes the really help accentuate the figure, and that is what grabs me about Picasso’s art. I really like his sculpture “Woman” because the shapes by themselves they would just be arbitrary, but together they resemble that of a woman, which makes for a very intriguing sculpture.
