EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Eric Gill's masterpiece, "Torso - Woman, 1913". The sculpture, made from Bath stone with a slate base, stands at an impressive height of 57.8 cm. Displayed in a private collection, this artwork showcases Gill's exceptional talent and his contribution to the arts and crafts movement. The female figure depicted in the photograph exudes both vulnerability and strength. With her arms missing, she appears to be turning away from the viewer, evoking a sense of aversion or introspection. Her gaze is directed elsewhere, as if lost in thought or contemplation. The choice of bath stone as the medium adds texture and depth to the sculpture. Against a grey background that seamlessly merges into the ground beneath it, this torso stands out as a representation of human likeness stripped down to its bare essentials. Gill's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour of this limbless woman. The absence of limbs creates an intriguing contrast between fragility and resilience. Dating back to 1913 during the early twentieth century, this artwork remains timeless in its appeal. It serves as a testament to Gill's ability to capture raw emotion through his artistry. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this studio shot with precision and clarity while preserving all aspects that make "Torso - Woman" such an iconic piece within modern traditional British art history.
