About the Item
With her elbows jutting to the side and her hips thrust forward, the viewer can almost picture this dancer out on the floor, her dress flaring and her shoulders glistening from the heat of the night. Although this remarkable sculpture has the appearance of richly-colored mahogany, it is cast in bronze, given a rich patina. The sculptor was William Wallace Rosenbauer, who was a pupil of Alexander Archipenko and is best known for directing the Kansas City Art Institute in the 1940s. He exhibited widely in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, and his works are owned by the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The sculpture is signed with the artist's monogram.

"African Drummer, " Fabulous Cubist Bronze Sculpture, France, 1920s
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A brilliant example of early French cubist sculpture, this depiction of an African drummer, her hands beating the two-sided drum and her head looking up as she sings or chants to the music, illustrates the fractured, reinvented reality that Picasso and Braque invented just ten or twenty years before. The abstracted breasts of the figure bring to mind the mature Cubism of Ossip Zadkine, Jean Souverbie...
