About the Item

René Coutelle Double Torso 2000 Balkan Onyx 18 x 11 x 7 in, 47 x 28 x 17 cm Unique Piece Private Collection of Didier Marien René Coutelle resorts to the art of Ancient Rome, the Caribbean, African and Cambodian art, he rediscovers simple poetry to express, or suggest a primitive and natural beauty from volumes that provide harmony and fullness, density and accuracy. His sculptures are inhabited by a song, thoughtful and exact, ardent in unison with its language. He disguises, with modesty, the original interior thrusts transposed into forms that aspire to blossom in space, the receptacle of an ascensional dynamic characteristic of his sculpture. His theme of Torses, Couples, Birds, lends itself to the simultaneous metamorphosis of the respective bodies in a voluptuous movement. The curves emit a vital fluid for a mutation, whose momentum inscribes the natural movements. Slow and subtle waves that are subject to its forms, emerges a poem, sensual, which combines the spirit to the dream, the intelligence of the touch to the musicality of the stone.

La Petite Semeuse [The Little Sower]
Located in New York, NY
Pollès The Little Sower La Petite Semeuse 2010 Bronze 14 x 8 x 8 in, 36 x 21 x 19 cm\ Edition 1/4 In continuity to the tradition of Greek sculpture, Pollès's works lie between Brancusi’s purity, Henry Moore’s figurative abstraction and Modigliani’s flowing siluets and forms. Considered as the inventor of the “Organic Cubism”, Pollès is immediately identifiable through this distant reminiscence of Picasso’s Cubism, mixed with great sensitivity and voluptuousness that characterize his subjects. His personal vision of beings in motion, his sculptures with extraordinary patinas, break the pure aesthetic and create a new, very intimate, mythology. Pollès has been in collaboration with the Boccara gallery...
