Ossip Zadkine

Richly illustrated monograph on the life and work of sculptor Ossip Zadkine

Sixty years after his death, this book celebrates the life and work of the sculptor Ossip Zadkine (1888-1967), one of the most distinctive voices in twentieth-century sculpture. Though he rose to international prominence in Paris during the roaring twenties, his work transcends movements and categories.

Richly illustrated, the book explores the breadth of Zadkine's prolific oeuvre, which includes more than 600 sculptures as well as hundreds of gouaches, drawings, lithographs, and etchings. It also places his work in dialogue with that of his wife, Valentine Prax, and a circle of contemporaries and students.
