Maria Papa Rostkowska (1923-2008) is a major figure of the New School of Paris. The work of this artist of Polish origin, Italian nationality but resolutely French at heart is situated halfway between abstraction and figuration. Her visual language is an ode to nature; drawing on plant, mineral and hybrid forms, her sculptures are an invitation to contemplation and a certain quest for happiness. She develops themes that are dear to her: the female figure, couples, family, metamorphosis, harmony but also war and struggles run through her art. Working mainly in marble by direct carving, Maria Papa Rostkowska made her life a manifesto for art. The catalogue also highlights the visual correspondences between her sculptures and the drawings, collages and lithographs of Jean Arp (1886-1966), Émile Gilioli (1911-1977) and Marino Marini (1901-1980). Affinities, friendships, even “artistic marriages”, each link that unites Maria Papa Rostkowska with these artists is unique.
