new figure, carefully start fitting the two
pieces together, while the lady retires."
So does Mordwin, the artist, explain the
process. Then he lapses into reminisc-
ence.
"My first subjects were ladies of

Mordwin smiles with triumph as he tells
the rest.

American woman the absolutely perfect

"But, to get the right figures of the
