Bather (fragment) 1931

"Bather (fragment)" is a bronze sculpture created in 1931 by the French artist Henri Laurens. The sculpture is a fragment of a larger work, depicting the upper torso of a woman. The simplified form and geometric shapes are characteristic of Laurens's style, which was influenced by Cubism. Despite the fragmented nature of the piece, the sculpture captures the essence of the human form with its expressive curves and textures. While the sculpture's location and dimensions remain unknown, it exemplifies Laurens's exploration of the human figure through a modern, abstract lens.
