Reuben Nakian is one of the most important Modernist sculptors of the twentieth century. After studying with Paul Manship and working as a studio assistant to Gaston Lachaise, he began his career as a sculptor and became one of the major figures in the Abstract Expressionist, associating especially with Arshile Gorky and Willem DeKooning. During his long year career as an artist, he came to focus on erotic abstractions of the female figure, frequently based upon classical mythology reinterpreted for the 20th century. Nakian had his first major retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1962, soon followed by amajor exhibition curated by Frank O'Hara (who also wrote the essay for the substanital catalogue illustrating more than 100 of Nakian's works) at the Museum of Modern Art in NY in 1966. Reuben Nakian's work has been shown in museums and galleries around the world, with a major travelling exhibition to celebrate the centennial of his birth in 1997 and 1998 that showed at the Reading Public Museum in Reading, Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Nakian's sculptures demonstrate his preoccupation with drawing, and the MoMA catalogue shows a number of plaques based upon the theme of Leda and the Swan, asubject to which Nakian returned time and again, perhaps under the influence of Yeats' superb poem upon the subject, perhaps in an attempt to come to terms with previous art works on the subject, including a drawing by Michelangelo and a painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
