Plaster Sculpture Representing a Group of 3 Figures. Circa 1950

This plaster sculpture representing a group of three figures illustrates the figurative expression that characterises part of the French decorative arts of the 1950s. The plaster work, at once supple and expressive, allows the artist to capture the figures in a lively composition, where the relationships between the figures are staged through posture and spatial arrangement.

Plaster, a privileged material for sculptors since antiquity, found in French mid-century a new vitality. Worked in unique pieces or limited editions, it served as a setting for popular figuration, sometimes close to folkloric imagery, sometimes inspired by expressionist modernity. This sculpture fits within this narrative tradition.

With compact dimensions (Width: 26.5 cm | Depth: 11.5 cm | Height: 32.5 cm), it finds its place on a console, a sideboard, a shelf or a desk, where it brings a narrative and decorative note.

A typical 1950s decorative arts piece whose figurative expression continues to enchant eclectic and contemporary interiors.
