About the artist
Henri Puvrez (St-Jans-Molenbeek/Brussels, 1893-Antwerp, 1971) was a Belgian sculptor. He was self-taught, but early in his career he also took lessons from Isidore de Ridder at the Brussels Art Academy for a year.
He had a preference to work directly in the material of his choice (taille directe), such as stone, wood and also ivory.
Yet he also worked with clay and bronzes have been cast of his work, such as the sculpture above. His early work was impressionistic, but he increasingly simplified his style, stylizing it to the point of abstraction.
