Alina Szapocznikow: Sculpture Undone, 1955-1972A sculptor who began working during the postwar period in a classical figurative style, Alina Szapocznikow radically reconceptualized sculpture as an imprint not only of memory but of her own body.

A sculptor who began working during the postwar period in a classical figurative style, Alina Szapocznikow radically reconceptualized sculpture as an imprint not only of memory but of her own body. Though her career effectively spanned less than two decades (cut short by the artist's premature death in 1973 at age 47), Szapocznikow left behind a legacy of provocative objects that evoke Surrealism, Nouveau R alisme and Pop art. Her tinted polyester casts of body parts, often transformed into everyday objects like lamps or ashtrays; her poured polyurethane forms; and her elaborately constructed sculptures, which at times incorporated photographs, clothing or car parts, all remain as wonderfully idiosyncratic and culturally resonant today as when they were first made. Well-known in Poland, where her work has been highly influential since early in her career, Szapocznikow's compelling oeuvre is ripe for art-historical reexamination. Alina Szapocznikow: Sculpture Undone, 1955-1972 offers a comprehensive overview of this important artist's work at a moment when international interest is blossoming. Richly illustrated with over 150 color plates, the catalogue features essays that touch on key aspects of her practice and historical reception, as well as an extensive annotated chronology that provides an in-depth exploration of the intersection of her life and art. Working in one of the most rich and complex periods of the twentieth century, Szapocznikow responded to many of the ideological and artistic developments of her time through artwork that is at once fragmented and transformative, sensual and reflective, playfully realized and politically charged.Alina Szapocznikow was born in Poland in 1926, and gained critical attention there for her early sculpture of the 1950s. She re-settled permanently in France in 1963, where her continued exploration of new materials such as polyester and polyurethane brought her into dialogue with the contemporary art scene of her time. She continued to push the boundaries of sculptural form and subject matter up until her premature death in 1973.

Your dogs will love them!
Size: For Medium and Large Breed, Color: 6 Pack
I’m giving this five stars because it was exactly what they claimed it would be. The only negative is our small Papillon tore these to shreds. perhaps, all cloth style toys would be the same.

Not advertised for chewers and it isn’t.
Size: For Medium and Large Breed, Color: 5 Pack
As a play toy for tugging and fetching it would be fantastic. Chew toy? Not so much. In five minutes our 9 month old English Springer Spaniel tore off a foot and started eating the cellophane. Took it from him and removed the cellophane from the leg and trimmed the shredded foot.
Gave it back and he chewed off an ear and started on the neck. Had to throw it out. It’s a shame because the price was good, the characters are cute and the squeaker is loud and generates excitement.
For non-chewers I highly recommend. For chewers, look elsewhere.
