Nakian, Reuben (näk`yän), 1897–1986, American sculptor, b. College Point, New York. Nakian's work is characterized by bold, massive, rough-textured forms organically draped or leaning heavily against one another. Most are abstract portrayals of themes from classical mythology. The monumental Rape of Lucrece (1955–58; Mus. of Modern Art, New York City) is made of welded steel sheets and rods. Nakian's works are noted for their spontaneous sensuality.

Nakian, Reuben (1897–1986) sculptor; born in Long Island, N.Y. He studied at the Art Students League (1912), was an apprentice to Paul Manship (1916), shared a studio with Gaston Lachaise (1920–23), then moved to Stamford, Conn. (1944). He specialized in animal and heroic subjects, and later, expressionistic sculptures, such as The Dance of Death (1967).
