Sculpto-painting

A term first used to describe works by Alexander Archipenko (1887-1964), Ukrainian-born Modernist sculptor, who lived and worked in France and the USA.Quote: "The sculptor [Archipenko] worked in many other styles and often introduced innovations, some more effective than others. A viable one was sculpto-paintings, an invention of his World War I years in Nice (1914-1918). They are polychromed bronzes that combine the properties of painting and relief sculpture like Espanola (Still Life with Head), 1916, a Cubist arrangement of elements carefully patinated in shades of green."
