From the jacket: "Described by Hilton Kramer as 'one of the most gifted and powerful artists who ever graced the American art scene', the New York sculptor Saul Baizerman (1889-1957) created an oeuvre marked by lyricism, energy and power; yet he remains virtually unknown today."

"His abiding theme," Kramer remarks, "was the heroic nude, and his achievement lay in elevating this theme to a high level of sculptural eloquence."

Magnificent black and white photographs of the artist's work.
