Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Richier's fantastical, anthropomorphic sculptures receive their first comprehensive publicationGermaine Richier (1902-59), the first woman to have an exhibition of her work at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, is a remarkable figure in the world of modern sculpture, and whose works are present in the world's most prestigious museums, including the Centre Pompidou, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Tate Modern. Her powerful and visionary art stands out in its constant search for an authentic representation of mankind: likening it to the work of her friend Alberto Giacometti. World War II had a shattering impact on the artistic and intellectual world of the Montparnasse of the 1920s and '30s. Richier spent the war years far from her family, in the native Switzerland of her husband, sculptor Otto Charles Bänninger. This painful exile would be one of the crucial turning points in the transformation of her art.Trained in the painstaking school of the bust by her teacher Antoine Bourdelle, she chose to stray from the beaten track. Natural elements--tree branches or insects--from the countryside of her native Languedoc merged into her creations: this was the origin of her 'hybrid creatures.' The originality of her sculpture manifested itself with increasing intensity. In 1946, she decided to return to France, driven by the need to be reunited with her family and her country. With her return to Paris, her creative freedom underwent a veritable explosion; her sculptures came to embody daring, innovative and original representations of Man and Woman, which, as they come to life, reveal new visions of the human condition. The sculptor was captured in her studio by her friend, the photographer Brassaï, surrounded by characters that seem to originate in some fantastic kingdom: L'Homme-forêt, L'Araignée, La Mante and La Cigale coexist with L'Ogre, Le Diabolo, La Feuille and Don Quichotte. These hybrid creatures, fruit of a fervent imagination, populate her artistic universe, where the human form is transformed and enriched with mystery and color, an element that Richier began incorporating into her works in the final years of her life. Her sculpture is a world in constant evolution, a place where the figure never disappears but rather is reinvented. Her thought-provoking, visually stunning works continue to plumb the depths of the world around us. This first volume of her catalogue raisonné is accompanied by a booklet that provides a list of 687 exhibitions and more than 4,000 bibliographic references. …
