About the Item
We admire a very expressive sculpture of the ancient god of all the seas, Poseidon, standing proud and confident on a wave, holding a trident in his right hand.
Edmont Moirignot (Paris 1913-2002) was born into a dynasty of ivory carvers on his mother's side of the family who lived and worked in Dieppe, one of Europe's leading centres of ivory carving. At the age of 18 he enters the atelier of Jean Boucher at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
In his catalogue raisonné of Moirignot (FVW Edition, 2010) Claude Jeancolas speaks of the artist "as one of the family of sculptors who, after World War II, together with Alberto Giacometti and Germaine Richier, are renewing figurative sculpture to express with new intensity man and his tragedy ".
The museums of Modern Art in Paris, Algiers, Geneva and Fontainebleau, to name only a few, own works by him. Throughout his career he exhibited frequently. He took part in the Paris Salon where he won the Grand Prix in 1972 and five gold medals.
His figures are characterized by great sensitivity and vulnerability.
The artist's searching fingerprints left in the clay are visible even in the final bronze cast
The sculpture is fully signed.
