Stehende Frau

1912–15; cast 1930
Not on view
Die anatomischen Merkmale dieser Figur basieren wahrscheinlich auf Lachaises lebenslanger Muse Isabel Dutaud Nagle, der Amerikanerin, die er 1917 heiratete. Der Künstler begann seine Laufbahn als Bildhauer in Paris zu Beginn des 20. Jhds. 1906 folgte er Isabel nach Amerika, wo er bis zu seinem Tode blieb und einer der landesweit führenden Bildhauer der menschlichen Figur wurde. Sehende Frau war seine erst Skulptur in Lebensgröße. Für Lachaise standen runder Torso, flacher Rücken und Hintern, ausladende, volle Brüste, schlanke Hände und sich verjüngende Beine für den Archetyp der Idealfrau.
