Germaine Richier, (born September 16, 1902, Grans, near Arles, France) was a French avant-garde sculptor and print maker of provocative
biomorphic figures.
Richier studied art in Montpellier, went to in Paris in 1926, and learned to work with bronze. Her talent was recognized already in the 1930s with a solo exhibition in 1934 at the Galerie Max Kaganovitch, the Blumenthal Prize for Sculpture in 1936, and an exhibition of her work at the Paris World’s Fair in 1937. By the 1940s her figures had become allegorical and sometimes hybridized expressions of humanity and nature. A fascination with insect forms and night creatures is exemplified by her Praying Mantis (1946).
Richier worked also in ceramics, mosaic, and printmaking and illustrated Arthur Rimbaud’s Illuminations in 1951 and Contre terre (1958), a volume of poems by her husband, René de Solier.
Richier’s contribution to the art world was cut short by her early death from cancer in 1959. However, her oeuvre was resurrected in 2014 in an exhibition of nearly 50 of her works at the Dominique Lévy Gallery and Galerie Perrotin in New York City as well as in a retrospective exhibition at the Kunstmuseum in Bern, Switzerland.
