Head of a Boxer 1920

Henri Laurens's "Head of a Boxer" (1920) is a captivating example of Cubist sculpture. The work, carved in stone, presents a fragmented, geometric representation of the human head, emphasizing the subject's muscularity and strength. Laurens's signature style, characterized by angular forms and abstract simplification, is evident in the piece's bold lines and flat planes. The use of geometric shapes, reminiscent of Picasso and Braque, highlights the artist's exploration of volume and form.
