Germaine Richier

Germaine Richier's work significantly reshaped 20th-century sculpture, merging human figures with natural forms in a unique blend of abstraction and figuration. As the first female artist to hold a solo exhibition at the Musée National d'Art Moderne, she broke gender barriers in the 1940s and 50s. This reassessment highlights her influential role amidst a male-dominated art world, exploring themes of identity and nature through contributions from various writers and an anthology of her writings, offering a comprehensive appreciation of her artistic legacy.
