Title
Eve, [Bronze]
Subject
Figure sculpture, American--20th century
Description
Eve
1937
Bronze with gilded apple
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall M. Fredericks
1994.051
The body language of EVE reveals her inner conflict as she gazes down at the bright, shiny apple. EVE stands in an unbalanced, almost awkward pose. Her head tilts in a quizzical manner. Her shoulders and breasts are uneven. Her torso and hips are twisted slightly and she is not centered on the pedestal. EVE is a good example of Fredericks' expressive use of the nude figure.
The sculptor used this female form as a model for the larger figure in the MOTHER AND CHILD or TWO SISTERS group. (The maquette for the two figure group is near the north wall; the life-size plaster is at the feet of CHRIST.) Throughout history sculptors have reused successful compositions as the basis for other work.
