Guy Call

Guy Callandreau, pseudonym Guy Call is a French sculptor born in 1940. He studies in the 60's at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Appliqués de Paris, his professors are Etienne Martin (1913-1995), Volti (1915-1989), Zwobada (1900-1967). We classify his sculptures in three periods. First "The Archaic Period", "Mother Earth and child", two Terra Cotta sculptures becoming one, "The Sun God and Child", two Terra Cotta sculptures becoming one. Second, "The black period" such as "Fatherhood" with wide-eyed bald men and women. In "The Brown Period" starting in 1988, his former Kallipygian Venus become thinner and have very long hair of sirens. 

For his first Solo Show in 1988 at Gallery Lise Cormery, the writer Jacqueline Kelen, France Culture, writes a text on his art.
