Description
The ultimate icon of modernity. Unveiled at the 1922 Salon d'Automne, François Pompon's Polar Bear marked a definitive break with realistic sculpture. By purifying the forms to retain only the essential, Pompon captured the animal's movement and power in a timeless line. This 30 cm edition meticulously respects the proportions of the original work.
Craftsmanship and a prestigious presentation: This sculpture is made of reconstituted stone with a matte white finish, offering a mineral feel and understated elegance. To complete this edition, each bear is delivered in a high-end presentation box, making this piece a collector's item ready to give as a gift or display. The meticulous attention to packaging underscores the museum-quality of this reproduction.
Guaranteed authenticity. This edition bears the Pompon® label, developed in close collaboration with the François Pompon Association, which defends the artist's moral interests. The piece bears the official Artémus hallmark, guaranteeing a faithful and respectful reproduction of the sculptor's original work.
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.
