Description:
|
|
The sculptor, draughtswoman and printmaker Germaine Richier was taught by Antoine Bourdelle in Paris between 1925 and 1929, at the same time as Alberto Giacometti. She started to work on remarkable works interesting to entomologists in 1940. This form of figuration was unique, and going to the boundaries of the fantastic. She produced human insects, an imagined world of a prehistoric universe. An oeuvre of metamorphoses, the sculptures of Germain Richier occupy an important place in the art of the 20th century.
