Alberto Giacometti, Marino Marini and Germaine Richier are distancing themselves from the academic representation of the body and with the figurative tradition illusionist. They explore new modes of representation to express their vision of the human being. Their learning than their latest creations years, they will never give up the representation, even after the Second World War, in a context dominated by abstraction, model heads and bodies are their source of concern and ongoing research. Bringing together a rich iconography and several trial specialists artists, the book shows how, faced with the inability to persevere in a traditional representation of the figure, the three sculptors propose "new images of man." Modeled in the earth or plaster, they innovate from the shapes and classic genres of the head, the torso, the standing figure and, in the case of Marini, the equestrian figure. In an era dominated by the aesthetic of smooth and use of rounded shapes, sometimes even transparent, the book invites to reevaluate their artistic proposals and to follow them in their struggle with the material
