René LETOURNEUR (1898-1990) - Lot 72
René LETOURNEUR (1898-1990)
Female nude
1955
Engraved limestone with highlighted pigments
Monogrammed (lower right) : RL
42 x 85 x 4 cm
Female nude featured in the exhibition L'Atelier du sculpteur René Letourneur (2009, Sceaux, Musée de l'Île-de-France).
For low-budget public commissions, René Letourneur uses salvaged slabs of soft stone, which have the advantage of being highly decorative. The precision of his line drawings is enhanced by the addition of pigments fixed in sodium silicate. A series of polychrome engraved stones was exhibited at the 1955 Salon d'Automne.
