About the Item

Henri Laurens - Ocean - Original Color Linoleum Cut 1938/1959 Medium : Color Linoleum Cut on Montgolfier Canson vellum Dimensions: 32 x 24 cm XXe siècle Henri Laurens was born in Paris in 1885. Impaired by tuberculosis when he was only 17, he is leg-amputated seven years later. First a stone cutter, he then becomes sculptor. In 1899, he studies drawing. Henry Laurens will be strongly influenced by cubism he discovers as soon as 1908 at « La Ruche ». Attracted by the Montparnasse artists group, in 1911, he starts sculpting in a cubist way. Friend of Juan Gris, Picasso, Laurens is also extremely close to Braque (who considered Laurens as a brother). The artist who dedicates most of his work to the human face will destroy a lot of a artpieces only to leave the ones successfully accomplished. Artist recognized worlwide, his last 10 years production (« La Grande baigneuse », 1947, « L'Automne », 1948) will be bought by the most famous museums. « His way of breathing, touching, feeling, thinking becomes object, becomes sculpture » will write Giacometti. Henri Laurens died in 1954 in Paris.
