About the Item
Pollès’s power of giving life to the bronze by infusing it with a carnal quality enables him to combine the breath of sensuality with the glowing work of the metal smith. In my mind this moulder of metal has taken his place among the illustrious initiates, a curious man, who handles the immensely heavy bronze with the elegant ease of one plucking down a feather from the swan’s breast, shaping, sculpting and burnishing it into a blend of substances and fantasies.

Pollès is a French sculptor born in Paris in 1945. He is considered the inventor of “Organic Cubism” . Fascinated by anatomy, he studied medicine and also attended drawing classes at the Academy Charpentier. In 1966, he discovered sculpture from a friend, the sculptor Enzo Plazota. He affirmed: “Overnight, as soon as I discovered form, I felt that I could give up everything for it.” In 1970, he went to Carrara and has lived ever since in Pietrasanta. A few years later, he created his own foundry and almost exclusively uses bronze for his works. His creations represent a continuity to the tradition of Greek sculpture. They could be considered as a short-circuit between Brancusi's purity, Henry Moore's figurative abstraction, and Modigliani's lines and forms. His love for the female figure, for her sensuality, complexity, and shape, led him to explore mainly the female form. Since the beginning of his career, Pollès has created a singularly stylized cubistish form, which became his signature.
