Description
Elie Nadelman fused classical influences with the subject matter and imagery of popular culture. Using bronze, marble, wood, and plaster, he created stylized, curvilinear emblems of modern life whose formal motifs referenced both the antique and the modern.
Elie Nadelman by Barbara Haskell explores these fascinating juxtapositions in his work. Discover the nuances of Nadelman's art and how he effectively bridged the classical with the contemporary.
