Julien Caussé (1869–1909), Art Nouveau Bronze Statuette Depicting A Draped Woman, 1900
Artist: Julien Caussé (1869-1909)
This delicate work fully embodies the essence of the Art Nouveau movement.
It depicts a feminine figure of great delicacy.
The figure stands in a sinuous and graceful pose.
Her arms are elegantly raised behind her head.
Her hands caress her long, flowing hair.
Her body is subtly outlined beneath a flowing drape.
The folds of her dress perfectly follow her anatomical curves.
This garment seems to almost merge with the plant material at the base.
Her hair blends beautifully with the flowing lines of the dress at the back of the piece.
Her face wears a serene expression, her eyes closed, evoking sleep or Symbolist ecstasy.
The details of the drapery and strands of hair reveal high-quality engraving.
The circular base, organically molded in the shape of a corolla or water lily, is hollow underneath.
The artist’s incised signature, “J. Caussé,” is perfectly legible on the edge of the pedestal.
A student of the famous master Alexandre Falguière, he settled in Paris and exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français.
There he received several honorable mentions, notably in 1892 and at the 1900 World’s Fair.
His work successfully specialized in small statuettes and busts.
He drew his primary inspiration from mythological depictions and feminine allegories.
His works capture the spirit of the “flower-woman” characteristic of the aesthetic of his time.
