Synopsis

Germaine Richier (1904-1959) was a significant European sculptor whose work powerfully expressed the unease of the post-World War II era. Her sculptures, often half-human and half-animal with rough, scarred surfaces, convey a deep existential anxiety. This book is the first major Dutch monograph on Richier, offering readers a chance to rediscover her compelling and unsettling art sixty years after her death.
