They became lifelong friends with a mutual aesthetic impact on one another's careers. Umlauf drew and sculpted Fawcett on multiple occasions, and Fawcett took inspiration from Umlauf's oeuvre to create intimate portraits of her family. Fawcett's muse-like influence on Umlauf's work is apparent in works like "Disrobing," where her likeness is skillfully rendered in the artist's characteristic style.** Detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog.
