“This Russian-born, reared in England and France, was a decisive option for early Cubism, although in the exhibited Phoenix (1944) he showed himself to be freer of the rigidities, strengthening rhythms and curves that characterised his post-war work”

“Phoenix (1944, bronze), by Ossip Zadkine, one of the pioneers in the heroic phase of Cubism in sculpture, although with a more humanised and expressive sense than his peers in this stylistic option”
