“Lehmbruck’s long slender figures are believed to have been influential on Alberto Giacometti but his Torso is a more solid and inert form.

Like many pieces by Lehmbruck’s admired Rodin, this sculpture is a fragment of the whole body, focusing on particular body parts that seems to emerge from the material. After Lehmbruck’s suicide, many of his sculptures were recast in bronze, and there are three such cast known to have been taken of this work.” (source from BM&AG)
