Product description
This comprehensive monograph, published by Gallimard / Electa and the Réunion des musées nationaux, explores the life and work of the renowned French sculptor François Pompon (1855–1933). The book serves as a detailed catalogue and visual record of his distinctive animalier sculptures, which are celebrated for their smooth, stylized forms that bridge the gap between classical tradition and modernism.
Bound in a hardcover format with a striking black dust jacket featuring one of Pompon's iconic bear sculptures, the volume is richly illustrated with both black-and-white and colour photographs. The text, written in French, provides in-depth biographical information, historical context, and critical analysis of his oeuvre, including his time working as a practitioner for Auguste Rodin. The pages are printed on high-quality paper, ensuring the crisp reproduction of archival images and studio photographs.
The book remains in good overall condition, with the binding secure and the interior pages clean and legible. The back shows signs of handling consistent with its age.
This publication is an essential addition to the library of any art historian, collector, or enthusiast of early twentieth-century sculpture. It functions beautifully as a coffee table book or as a scholarly resource within a curated study or living space.
