Olympic Torso (Male)

Robert Graham · 1983 · cast bronze ·  Accession ID  1985.37.1

The sculpture depicts the torso and legs of a nude male figure, standing from the neck to mid-thigh. The figure is muscular with well-defined pectoral and abdominal muscles, with hands resting at the sides. It is made of dark bronze, giving it a smooth and polished look. The color is a deep metallic gray with shading that accentuates the muscles. The sculpture lacks a head and feet, adding an abstract quality, but maintains human proportions. Positioned on a plain base, the figure appears to directly face the observer.
