Discover the 176-page hardcover book in French, Anna Quinquaud, Explorer, Sculptor, Journey in the 1930s by Anne Doridou-Heim (Somogy éditions d’art / Éditions Evergreen, 2011, ISBN 9782757204337), in very good condition. Daughter of Thérèse Caillaux and student of Rodin, winner of the First Second Grand Prix de Rome, Anna Quinquaud (1890-1984) preferred Africa to the Villa Medici from 1925 onwards. Alone with her porters, she traveled the continent and brought back busts and statuettes imbued with serenity and melancholy, far removed from any colonialism. His success in the 1930s earned him major exhibitions, rave reviews and official commissions: bas-reliefs of the wild animals at the Jardin des Plantes, the Palais de Chaillot and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, monumental sculptures for the cathedrals of Dakar and Casablanca, collaborations with Sèvres and Quimper.
Anne Doridou-Heim retraces this exceptional journey of independent spirit, with bibliographical references (p. 169-172), and fully highlights an artist whose work remains a respectful tribute to African populations.
