Femme debout

1912–15; cast 1930
Not on view
Gaston Lachaise a probablement emprunté le corps de cette Femme debout à l’Américaine Isabel Dutaud Nagle, muse de toujours qu’il épousera en 1917. L’artiste entreprit sa carrière à Paris, au tout début du XXe siècle. En 1906, il suivit Isabel aux États-Unis pour y demeurer jusqu’à sa mort, après être devenu l’un des sculpteurs du corps humain les plus réputés du pays. Femme debout fut sa première sculpture grandeur nature. Le torse arrondi, le dos lisse et les fesses plates, la poitrine large et généreuse, les mains petites, les jambes fuselées et les pieds gracieux représentaient pour lui l’idéal féminin.
