About the sculpture
Chauvin moved to Paris in 1908 to study under the esteemed French sculptor Antonin Mercie (1845–1916). He also worked as an apprentice to Joseph Bernard (1866–1931), the father of direct carving. Although initially influenced by Mercie’s Neo-classicism, Chauvin later embraced Cubism and became an early proponent of Abstraction. His work is celebrated for its purity of form and geometric symmetry.
