Spirit of the Wind (Zephyr)

This is a graceful figure study of the Art Deco using the human female figure to displays a natural phenomenon.  It was created in 1936 during a period of time when the sculptor was creating automobile radiator ornaments for a variety of different cars. 

It was never enlarged to life-size.  The body purposefully demonstrates some disproportion with a twisting torsion for the visual effect.  The statue certainly depicts swift motion of wind.  A small bronze casting of Zephyr is available for purchase.
