Germaine Richier

With nearly 200 works - sculptures, engravings, drawings and paintings - the exhibition chronologically retraces Germaine Richier's artistic trajectory and sheds light on the major themes that nourish her sculptural practice (the human, the animal, myths, etc.). Trained in the tradition of Auguste Rodin and Antoine Bourdelle, Germaine Richier asserted herself as profoundly original and radical in little more than 25 years, from the 1930s to her early death in 1959: a link between Rodin and the first César in the history of modern sculpture.
