Elie Nadelman

Elie Nadelman is a Polish-born American expressionist sculptor. He is best known for his abstract figures and portraits done in a contemporary style. Nadelman began his career as a wood and metal carver in Warsaw before moving to the United States in 1904. He studied in New York and Paris, where he was introduced to the work of Pablo Picasso and André Derain.

His artistic inspiration was also strongly associated with African art. In his sculptures, Nadelman sought a synthesis of Cubism and primitive art. He often used geometric forms to create abstract compositions that at the same time preserved the human figure. His work has been recognized in many exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale and Documenta in Kassel.
