The Lithuanian-American artist and sculptor Boris Lovet-Lorski's nude sculptures are deeply rooted in the classical tradition, drawing clear inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art. The artist is known for Art Deco works like Melpomene, which elongate and streamline idealized depictions of human beauty, introducing elements of abstraction and modernism in a manner that is both thought-provoking and timelessly elegant.
