Sequence 1 (from left to right):
Maillol, Nude, lithograph
Jacques Lipchitz, Sauvetage, lithograph
Giacometti, Standing Figure. Phototype.
Bruce Taylor, Warrior II, Bronze.
This sequence situates Taylor's treatment of the human figure as independent from the sculptural practice of Rodin, Maillol, Epstein, Lipchitz, Moore, etc. that were grounded in drawing from the nude.
Taylor's figure, by contrast, crystallize a human presence through a conceptual synthesis of three abstract but significant elements: standing up, anchored/grounded into space, looking ahead.
Taylor's figure takes on a totemic form first developed by Giacometti, and later by William Turnbull, Lyn Chadwick and others.
