After disappointing sales at Weyhe Gallery in 1928, Calder turned from sculpted wire portraits and figures to the more conventional medium of wood. On the advice of sculptor Chaim Gross, he purchased small blocks of wood from Monteath, a Brooklyn supplier of tropical woods. He spent much of that summer on a Peekskill, New York farm carving. In each case, the woodblock suggested how he might preserve its overall shape and character as he subsumed those attributes in a single form. There was a directness about working in wood that appealed to him. Carved from a single block of wood, Woman with Square Umbrella is not very different from the subjects of his wire sculptures except that he supplanted the ethereal nature of using wire with a more corporeal medium.<br>© 2023 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York

بعد المبيعات المخيبة للآمال في معرض Weyhe في عام 1928 ، تحول كالدر من صور وأشكال سلكية منحوتة إلى وسيط أكثر تقليدية من الخشب. بناء على نصيحة النحات حاييم جروس ، اشترى كتلا صغيرة من الخشب من Monteath ، مورد بروكلين للأخشاب الاستوائية. أمضى معظم ذلك الصيف في نحت مزرعة بيكسكيل بنيويورك. في كل حالة ، اقترح الخشب كيف يمكنه الحفاظ على شكله العام وشخصيته لأنه قام بتصنيف تلك السمات في شكل واحد. كان هناك مباشرة حول العمل في الخشب الذي ناشده. منحوتة من كتلة واحدة من الخشب ، لا تختلف المرأة ذات المظلة المربعة كثيرا عن موضوعات منحوتاته السلكية باستثناء أنه حل محل الطبيعة الأثيرية لاستخدام الأسلاك بوسط أكثر جسدية.
