An "inexorable and perfect" art Margherita Sarfatti Sculptor par excellence, Adolfo Wildt (1868-1931) comes from the prestigious genealogy of marble cutters, dominators of the block like Michelangelo. At the turn of the century, he reconciled the artist and the craftsman, giving a noble dimension to marble work. Close to symbolism, he was able to develop a language where expressionism blends with reminiscences of ancient art, Gothic art, and the Renaissance, in an unprecedented balance between the expressive force of the model and the grace of purely decorative motifs. Presented for the first time in France, Wildt's work, unclassifiable, sometimes misunderstood, will never cease to amaze, fascinate, and even divide.
