Description

The meeting of two exceptional skills.

Artémus Éditions presents a unique collaboration between the history of modern sculpture and French fine jewelry. This limited edition of 99 pieces revisits François Pompon's iconic work through the bold lens of Maison Tournaire.

A fusion between organic purity and the mechanics of time.

While Pompon's smooth, timeless bear silhouette captures the very essence of the animal, Mathieu Tournaire's intervention adds a new narrative dimension. The "Gears" motif, an emblematic signature of Maison Tournaire, adorns the sculpture, symbolizing transmission, memory, and the invisible link that unites humankind, nature, and the passage of time.

This work creates a striking dialogue between the softness of the original curves and the technical rigor of the mechanical relief. It is no longer just an animal, it is a living architecture.

A prestigious, handcrafted product

Created in the Montbrison workshops using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, this bronze sculpture boasts a hand-applied patina finish. Each piece testifies to rare artisanal precision, transforming the bronze into a delicate lacework of metal and light.

A collector's item delivered in its case, marking the link between heritage and innovation.

Presentation

The son of a cabinetmaker, François Pompon entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Dijon after working with stone and wood in Saulieu to earn his living.

He studied architecture and sculpture and acquired some rudiments of engraving. In 1874, he left for Paris and entered into contact with the entrepreneurs who transformed Paris during the Second Empire.

He executed decorative figures and caryatids for the façade of the Hôtel de Ville and then joined Rodin as a practitioner, where he remained for fifteen years. He had to wait until the age of 67 and the 1922 Salon to achieve success with "The White Bear."

Known primarily as an animal sculptor, he exalted the lyricism of light in the polished surfaces and the economy of detail. After being preserved at the Jardin des Plantes, the three hundred pieces bequeathed by F. Pompon were permanently transferred to Dijon, to the Museum of Fine Arts.
