Houston Chandler (American, 1914–2015) Gorilla, c.1946 Wood, 8 5/8 x 7 3/4 x 5 1/8 in. (21.9 x 19.7 x 13 cm) Saint Louis Art Museum 1124:2010
"'Gorilla' features smooth surfaces, abstracted forms, and a masklike face. These elements are evidence of Houston Chandler’s search for 'the simplicity that brings out the greatest line of expression.' Though the gorilla rests in a hunched pose, its muscular limbs, arranged in diagonals across its body, allude to its physical power."
