Henri Parayre (1879-1970) - Terracotta

Very beautiful sculpture by Henri Parayre (1879-1970) in terracotta representing a seated womanHeight: 30 cmA key figure in 20th-century Toulouse sculpture, he is known for his unique creations, between modernity and abstraction. His sculptural practice is distinguished by a bold work of forms and volumes, with a marked interest in the simplification of lines and contours. This sculpture by Henri Parayre presents a human figure lying in a resting posture, which evokes both serenity and introspection. Made of plaster, the work benefits from a green patina that accentuates the soft, rounded shapes of the body. The work invites contemplation: the delicacy of the forms highlights the sensuality of the human body
