This anthology aims to recall the major place of Germaine Richier's art in her time and, more broadly, in the history of sculpture and the 20th century. It recreates the fascination that her work and personality exerted on post-war literary circles and the diversity of views on this art, described as expressionist, materialist, informal, surrealist, fantastical, and baroque. In addition to texts by eminent writers and critics, there are testimonies that reflect the revelation of visiting the Parisian studio and the intimate accounts of artists who frequented Richier. Finally, other texts shed light on the question of the legacy of Richier's work in France and abroad, highlighting its impact on an entire generation of artists.
