Daniel Hourdé, French sculptor. "One day in Paris, the residents of Saint-Germain-des-Prés woke up to a statue of Satan in front of their church and two angels flanking the statue of the revolutionary Condorcet near the Institute. Daniel Hourdé had just struck." "Art—a lively, free, lasting, Dantesque art—had just struck. Five years later, it strikes again in a major way, this time right in the middle of the Seine. The 155-meter Pont des Arts will become an "enchanted footbridge" for several weeks in May-June 2016." Noting that freedom in art today is no longer an adventure, Daniel Hourdé decides to return to a traditional technique and material, lost wax bronze, as well as to realism, this being the best way to give more body and therefore more soul to his characters, even if this apparent classicism is most of the time diverted by derision or irony.
