Alexander Archipenko
Alexander Archipenko is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Alexander Archipenko carved and drew human figures into clean, angular shapes. In 1921 he sketched a woman’s body with flat planes and sharp edges, tilting hips and shoulders as if the paper itself had been folded. His drawings look like blueprints for sculpture, trading soft curves for crisp lines. See how the pose almost tilts off the page—tap Study of the female nude to spin it around and trace the edges yourself.
