Sculpture
In April, 1925, the Memorial Art Gallery mounted an exhibition of Mestrovic’s sculpture. Like [Gaston] Lachaise, Mestrovic created emotionally evocative work, which may have influenced the many Rochesterians who contributed funds to purchase this sculpture and two others for MAG’s permanent collection.

Sculpture
Examples of prehistoric cave painting and rock art indicate humans have always recognized the divine bond between a mother and her child. With his austere modernist figures, Ivan Mestrovic sought to capture a universal spiritual feeling. His unique style clearly affected the many Rochesterians who donated money to purchase this piece from a popular exhibition of the artist’s sculpture held at the Gallery in 1925.
