Product information "François Pompon: Sculpture 'Little Polar Bear' (1923-1933), version in artificial marble"

François Pompon (1855-1933) contributed significantly to the fame of Auguste Rodin's sculpture studio for 15 years. He developed his own unmistakable style and, with his polar bear, created the unrivalled prototype of an animal sculpture that simultaneously radiates power and modernity. Pompon created this sculpture in various sizes. The Metropolitan Museum of Art places the Polar Bear at the centre of its collection as a milestone in modern sculpture.
