François Pompon (1855-1933), sculpteur bourguignon, installé à Paris, met d'abord son talent au service d'artistes prestigieux comme Auguste Rodin et René de Saint-Marceaux, tout en se spécialisant dans le portrait. Après des années d'un travail exigeant et discret, il développe une ?uvre personnelle dédiée à la sculpture animalière. Animé par la volonté de saisir l'essence profonde de l'animal, il s'appuie sur une observation attentive des modèles vivants et une maîtrise subtile de la lumière. Son style, à la fois réaliste, suggestif et épuré, fait naître une harmonie des volumes et une pureté des contours, capables d'émouvoir avec une immédiateté saisissante. Cet ouvrage retrace le parcours d'un sculpteur passionné, dont chaque création, duSanglierà laChouette, jusqu'à l'emblématiqueOurs blanc, révèle un regard attentif et profondeur sensible sur le vivant. Pensé comme un outil de référence, il réunit une biographie richement illustrée, des textes d'analyse, le catalogue raisonné de l'artiste, ainsi que ses livres de comptes - autant de ressources précieuses pour comprendre, documenter et étudier en profondeur l'?uvre de Pompon.…

- Text in English and French
This monograph on the sculptor François Pompon is unpublished in the editorial landscape. It traces the history and work of the artist. The book has two parts, with Pompon’s books of accounts: a bilingual illustrated biography, followed by the repertoire of works. Resolutely modern, François Pompon vivified the animal art of the early 20th century, by his original conception of the form and the emotion produced. However, he devoted most of his life to composing for other sculptors, until he began to study animals by choice and taste. Drawing on the principles of antiquity while challenging the conventions of traditional statuary, he created a realistic, suggestive and simplified style. Polar Bear carries the sculptor’s career to its peak and is today its symbol. Pompon represents the animal in its daily life, for itself and without staging. He finds the balance between realism, truth and abstraction of unnecessary details. The surfaces are polished and round, leading to a soothing and understandable beauty at first glance. The result of a long manual and experimental work, this creative impulse leads François Pompon to new masterpieces sublimating the animal world. Bear, wild boar, hippopotamus, owl, mole or partridge, the animals of Pompon are touched by the love that emerges.
