George Waldemar, célèbre critique français ayant écrit l'unique monographie de Csaky publiée de son vivant, décrit la présente sculpture comme suit : « Une tendance latente à réagir contre l'impressionnisme qui avait envahi la sculpture au point de ronger les matériaux les plus durs, de les diluer, de les rendre vaporeux et plastiquement incommunicables, a-t-elle pu déterminer Csaky à concevoir cette «Figure Habillé» dont le rythme constructif, les idées de composition, les rapports de volumes visent à l'isolement de la statue dans l'espace ? Il pense en termes de formes primaires. L'être humain n'est qu'une carcasse, un diagramme, la « Figure Habillée » est un prisme, une étape vers l'art pur, une perfection. Lorsque la guerre éclate, Csaky a fait son premier pas. Il a définitivement rompu avec l'enseignement de Rodin... Il a fait table rase du passé immédiat. » (W. George, Csaky, Paris, 1930).
George Waldemar, the well-known French critic who wrote the only monograph on Csaky published during his lifetime, described the sculpture as follow : 'Could a latent tendency to react against Impressionism that had overrun sculpture to the point of gnawing the hardest material, of watering it down, of making them vaporous and plastically incommunicable; could this tendency determine Csaky to conceive this "Figure Habillé" of which constructive rhythm, compositional ideas, and ratios of volumes aim at isolation of the statue in space ? He thinks in terms of primary shapes. The human being is solely a carcass, a diagram, "Figure Habillée" is a prism, a stage towards pure art; a perfection. When the war broke out, Csaky has made his first step. He has definitely split with Rodin's teaching ... He has made a clean sweep with the immediate past.' (W. George, Csaky, Paris, 1930).
