Description
Back view of sculpture of elongated figure by Germaine Richier, at the Meijer Sculpture Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "As a French citizen, Richier witnessed the ravages of World War II firsthand, and translated the brutality of the war into her sculptures. She became known for her unique figures, which she saw as original and independent beings. This sculpture is expressive with its elongated form as well as the rich texture of the surface"--Meijer Sculpture Gardens website.
