Summary

Français : Encrier, sculpture de Raymond Duchamp-Villon représentant un crabe

Raymond Duchamp-Villon (1876–1918) was a French sculptor. He was born in Damville, Eure, France, and grew up in a family of artists. Duchamp-Villon studied painting and drawing before turning to sculpture in 1902. His early work was influenced by the Symbolist movement, but he soon embraced Cubism, which he saw as a way of expressing the complexity and dynamism of modern life. Duchamp-Villon's sculptures were characterised by their geometric forms, fragmented surfaces and dynamic compositions. One of his most famous works is The Horse (1914), a large-scale bronze sculpture that captures the energy and movement of a galloping horse. Other notable works include The Bride (1912), a sculpture of a woman's head that is fragmented and abstracted, and The Chess Players (1911-12), a group of three figures playing chess reduced to geometric forms. Duchamp-Villon died in 1918 at the age of 41 from complications related to his military service in World War I. Despite his short career, he was an important figure in the development of modern sculpture and his work continues to be celebrated for its innovative approach to form and composition.
