Woman in a Bathtub, 1889 modeled (cast 1920-21) no. 26/C, Edgar Degas, French, 1834 - 1917, 8 3/4 x 16 1/2 x 17 3/4 in. (22.23 x 41.91 x 45.09 cm), Bronze, France, 19th-20th century, Taking an unusual approach to the traditional theme of the nude bather, and introducing color into his original wax sculpture (through tinted waxes, a lead ring for the tubs rim, and plaster-soaked cloth puddled at the tubs edge), Degas achieved a work of daring modernity. Much of The Tubs impact, as well as its charm, derives from Degass clever way of making a full view possible only from directly overhead. Yet the arrangement of the bathers arms and legs, combined with her self-absorption as she performs her ablutions, results in a carefree innocence that foils the most prurient gaze.

The Sprinter 1902, cast 1907 Charles Albert Lopez American, born Mexico Lopez is best known for his monumental work, and The Sprinter,” an academic study of a track runner, is the only athletic figure he executed. Lopez’s figure is posed in a starting position, suggesting that the recently developed crouching start for a running race presented sculptors with a novel pose for the male figure. The United States Navy chose a cast of The Sprinter" to serve as a championship trophy in track and field events for the Atlantic, Pacific, and Asiatic fleets. This statuette was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum in 1907, the year after the sculptor’s death.. The Sprinter 11449
