I never would have guessed that Gaston Lachaise was a student of Manship. But if Manship was always making his figures leaping, leaving the earth (even if it looked more like "falling" -- rejoining the earth), maybe Lachaise was also trying to get his massive figures look light as ballerinas, a lack of gravity that can also seem amusing.
