Maria Papa Rostkowska Et Ses Affinités Artistiques Jean Arp, Émile Gilioli, Marino Marini
Auteur(s) : Lydia Harambourg (dir.)
Exhibition at the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Meudon, 26 March - 10 July 2022
Maria Papa Rostkowska (1923-2008) is a major figure of the New School of Paris. The work of this artist of Polish origin, Italian by nationality but resolutely French at heart, is situated halfway between abstraction and figuration. Her plastic 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, the couple, the family, metamorphosis, harmony, but also war and struggle run through her art.
This exhibition catalogue highlights the plastic correspondences between the sculptures of the sculptor, the real threads of this presentation, and the drawings, collages and lithographs of Jean Arp (1886-1966), Émile Gilioli (1911-1977) and Marino Marini (1901- 1980).
