- Otto Breicha: Wotruba. Figur als Widerstand, Salzburg 1977, p. 175 (with ill.).

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.
