专家说明

The present work portrays Flora Lewis Mayo, a young American heiress from Colorado who came to Paris in 1925. Like Giacometti, she studied sculpture with Bourdelle at the elder master's atelier on the rue Grande-Chaumière and in 1927 Giacometti and Mayo made portraits of each other in plaster. Giacometti's plaster displays his interest at that time in primitive art, and marks an important step in the artist's evolution from the realistic representation of the figure towards a greater sense of formal freedom.
