Bronze with brown patina, signed with the artist's monogram and numbered "2/8" with the foundry mark "M. Hohwiller/Fondeur/Paris" 55 cm - 21 5/8 in.
PROVENANCE Private collection, France (by descent) "So "modern art" as you say, is only the exact search for the true tradition in statuary, a tradition we have lost since the 15th century. The Renaissance was already beginning to put its statues in the margins of its architectures, they formed hors-d'oeuvre. We seek sculpture.
In sculpture, the proportions of nature are not a truth."
