Pompon | Animal Statues

Francois Pompon (1855-1933) was a French sculptor known for his work in the early 20th century, particularly for his iconic sculpture of a polar bear. Pompon's polar bear sculpture is characterized by its simplicity and the artist's ability to capture the essence of the animal with minimal detail. The sculpture is known for its smooth, rounded forms and a sense of calm and dignity that it imparts to the bear. It stands as a testament to Pompon's talent for abstraction and simplification in sculpting.
