  • Conference: Pompon by Alain Barré, sculptor Destination Pornic

Presentation

 Buld'Art is organizing a conference hosted by Alain Barré 
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of François Pompon, the artist who revolutionized modern sculpture with his pure, smooth forms.
  • Late recognition: Long overshadowed as an assistant to great masters such as Auguste Rodin, Pompon only achieved fame at the age of 67.
  • The shock of 1922: Discover the story of his monumental “White Bear” exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in Paris, a 2.5-meter work that propelled the artist onto the international scene overnight  
  • The art of simplicity: A closer look at his unique style, characterized by the abandonment of detail in favor of the essential, creating animal silhouettes of absolute modernity.
  • A man in the shadows: Portrait of a modest artist who preferred the tranquility of animals to the hustle and bustle of Parisian salons.
  • A living legacy: Why his sculptures, now reproduced around the world, continue to influence and inspire contemporary sculptors.
