Marie Pierre Thiebaud, Golden Bronze
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
Marie Pierre Thiebaud (1933-2010)
Golden bronze
Founder's stamp: Valsuani
Draft 1 / 4
Measures: height: 21 cm
Length: 36cm
Depth: 22cm
Description
This art piece was made by Marie-Pierre Thiébaut. Her name is engraved on the side of the sculpture: « THIEBAUT », as well as the print run number: « 1 / 4 ». There is also the foundry stamp « C VALSUANI CIRE PERDUE ».
This sculpture is composed by seven individual pieces. There is a main piece on which rest bronze elements, including two spheres and three elements which are articulated around a cylinder.
Close to abstraction, the shape can remind of a sea creature. The artist conceives a sculpture with vaporous forms which plays with effects of brightness and contrasts, in particular thanks to marked undulations. As the preface of the book, Marie-Pierre Thiébaut, La forme-geste reminds us, the artist’s work can’t be dissociated of a mineral and natural world :
« Some of the pieces remind us of undulations of the sea bed, the granulated skin of a wave, the intimacy of a body. A whole universe touched, suggested with grace, fervor and present with touches of absolute. »
In addition, the writer Marguerite Duras wonders about the vision of her work in the preface of the exhibition Lanscapes in 1972 :
« Where are we? at the bottom of the sea? at the bottom of a woman? in a fruit? I believe that we are both in the sea and inside of an organ. in the primary, common environment, the marine symbiosis. »
Marie Pierre Thiebaud Biography :
Marie-Pierre Thiébaut (1933-2010) is an artist, sculptor and visual artist. She favors natural materials such as earth, wood, or paper. Bronze is also one of the mediums She uses, although rarer in her creative process.
At the beginning of the 1950’s, Marie-Pierre Thiébaut trained at the Academy of the Grande Chaumière, with Ossip Zadkine, who would say of his apprentice "that he was young, and sculpture becoming the primary concern of her life, I am sure that the sun will illuminate her work of a truly discovered world”
During this period she explores the sensuality of the female body.
Her work expresses a personal serenity, developed on the margins of any theoretical thought. The essence of her work lies in the contemplation of forms and what they can evoke for the viewer. Our work is the perfect synthesis.
Thus her gesture has consequences since Marie-Pierre Thiébaut offers the world a sensitive and dreamlike universe.
Many art personalities such as François Barré, the painter Jean Degottex...
