Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto
Notes:
Francine Richman was born in Paris, in 1928. After moving to Montreal, she studied at the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts, then at the School of Art at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Richman has acknowledged her fascination with the human form and animal forms. Influenced by the abstract sculptures of Brancusi, Arp and Henry Moore, she creates supple figures that bring to mind the movements of dancers, while areas of material left untouched offer a glimpse of the creative process.
