Hardback monograph, The Sculpture of Henri Laurens. Introduction by Werner Hofmann, with recollections of Henri Laurens by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. Published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York, 1970. First edition, 227 pages.
“A comprehensive study of the twentieth-century French sculptor Henri Laurens, whose work evolved from Cubist experimentation into a language of classically balanced, monumental forms. The volume traces Laurens’s development alongside the great figures of Cubism, examining his early constructions and collages as well as the lyrical bronzes and terracottas that define his mature work. With 186 illustrations, including 3 in full color, the book presents a richly illustrated exploration of Laurens’s enduring meditation on the female form, spatial rhythm, and sculptural harmony.”
