Description
The sculptor Frederick MacMonnies is chiefly known for his exuberant, sensual nudes, such as those decorating the huge fountain of 1893 for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, which featured dozens of frolicsome, stark-naked female figures. Curiously, his drawings reveal a different side of his talent—a detailed, slightly somber realism, which brings out the unidealized individuality of his models.
