Marriage: Married Isabel Dutaud Nagle in 1917 after her divorce. Lachaise considered Isabel his primary inspiration, referring to her as "Woman."

Artistic Development and Style

Development of Unique Style: While influenced by European sculpture training, Lachaise developed a distinctive style in America, characterized by robust and voluptuous depictions of the female nude.
"Woman" as a Theme: His concept of "Woman" evolved into a central theme, representing vitality, fertility, and a force of nature based on Isabel's image.
Sculptural Characteristics: Lachaise’s nudes were known for their powerful forms, emphasizing breasts, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks with “a rounded voluminousness.”
Materials: Primarily worked in bronze.

Major Works and Recognition

Standing Woman (Modeled 1928-30): Considered his most famous work, exemplifies his style of the female nude.
Portraits: Created portraits of notable figures including John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, Marianne Moore, and Lincoln Kirstein.

Retrospective Exhibition: The Museum of Modern Art held a retrospective exhibition in 1935, the first for any American sculptor.

Historical Significance

American Modernism: Played a critical role in the birth of American modernism by pushing boundaries and exploring the human body innovatively.
Influence: His work influenced subsequent generations of sculptors with his emphasis on form, volume, and emotional expression.
Legacy: Recognized as "the greatest American sculptor of his time" by *ARTnews*, Lachaise's legacy continues to be celebrated for its contribution to American art history.
