Ossip Zadkine, 1961 - Lot 111

Ossip Zadkine, 1961 Silver print Laminated piece of poem on back Dimensions: 12.8 cm x 17.8 cm Sold as is Note: This 1961 silver print shows Ossip Zadkine with one of his sculptures, offering a rare glimpse of the artist in dialogue with his work. The scene, both simple and evocative, contrasts the sculptor's presence with the expressive verticality of his creation, underlining the intimate bond between man and material. A major figure of the École de Paris, Zadkine appears here in a moment of reflection, almost in retreat, leaving all his strength to the sculpture. This photograph goes beyond portraiture to become a veritable document of the artistic process and the relationship between creator and work. The fragment of a poem pasted on the back adds a sensitive and singular dimension to this ensemble. Despite the marks of use, this print retains all its documentary value and will appeal to lovers of modern art and artists' photography.
