This book combines a brief biography of the extraordinary life and passionate love of the artist with a critical examination of the themes that recur throughout his work. The author, Gerald Nordland, has been designated by Mme. Isabel Lachaise, the artist's widow, and the Lachaise Foundation as the official biographer of Gaston Lachaise (from the d.j.) Unfortunately, as complete as the book may seem in its reproduction of his figurative, breast-centered work, it seems completely wanting in reproductions of his other creative efforts.
