Literature:
- Jürg Janett: Fritz Wotruba, Werkverzeichnis, Skulpturen/Relief/Bühnen- und Architekturmodelle, St. Gallen 2002, p. 262, no. 310 (with ill. of the stone).
- Otto Breicha: Wotruba. Figur als Widerstand, Salzburg 1977, p. 175 (with ill.).
- Friedrich Heer: Fritz Wotruba, St. Gallen 1977, p. 125 (with ill. of the marble).
- Jeremy Strick: Twentieth Century Painting and Sculpture: Selections for the Tenth Anniversary of the East Building, Washington, D.C., 1989, p. 114/115 (other cast).
The torso was one of the most important themes in Fritz Woruba's art, already beginning in the 1920s. Created in 1969, the bronze offered here is therefore a late work. It represents the culmination of the artistic transformation of the depiction of the human form, from a figurative to an abstract manner. Another example of this figure can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
