Alexander Archipenko's Parisian years, from 1908 to 1921, are often cited as his most productive and important. His White Torso, cast circa 1920, after the original marble version executed in 1916, is a seminal example of the artist's achievements in the plastic arts from this formative moment in his career, during which he was recognized as one of the most innovative and prolific of a new generation of sculptors…in the post-Rodin 'modern' phase of the history of sculpture, as was posited in a 1981 exhibition catalogue for Tel Aviv's Archipenko: The Early Works: 1910-1921.
