Jacques Lipchitz
Jacques Lipchitz (26 May 1973) was a Lithuanian-born French-American
Cubist sculptor. Lipchitz retained highly figurative and legible components in his work leading up to 1915–16, after which naturalist and descriptive elements were muted, dominated by a synthetic style of
Crystal Cubism. In 1920 Lipchitz held his first
solo exhibition, at
Léonce Rosenberg's Galerie L'Effort Moderne in Paris where he was counted as part of the
School of Paris. Fleeing the Nazis he moved to the US and settled in New York City and eventually Hastings-on-Hudson. While in the US, he created a number of his best-known works, including the outdoor sculptures ''The'' ''Song of the Vowels'', ''
Birth of the Muses'', and ''
Bellerophon Taming Pegasus'', the last of which was completed after his death.
