César

Les Roberts d'Evelyne

1991

*Les Roberts d'Evelyne* is a striking sculptural work by the French-American artist César, combining cast bronze with a wooden base to create a dynamic interplay between industrial material and natural form. Known for his iconic compressions and expansions, César brings his signature tactile sensibility to this piece, allowing the dense, lustrous quality of the bronze to command attention while the wood grounds the work with warmth and organic texture. The title's personal reference evokes an intimacy that contrasts with the raw, assertive physicality of the materials.
