Étienne Martin (1913-1995) Head of Alma, 1954 Fine bronze proof BUSATO lost wax with nuanced brown patina (founder's stamp) Signed, named and dated in wax at the back of the neck Natural wood base created by the artist. 21 x 16 x 20 cm Note: - Étienne Martin entered the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1970. His work is marked by abstraction, expressionism and experimentation. His preferred materials are bronze and wood. He also uses fabric. He blends the genres of sculpture and architecture, with a taste for the monumental, particularly in the second half of his artistic life. The cycle of XX remains and questions the concepts of time and space. Expert: Jean-Christian Daveau Please request condition reports prior to sale: they are not included in the data sheets.
