- Title
Entrepreneurs of the New Order: Bourdelle in the Park.
- Authors
Mitchell, Claudine
- Abstract
The article focuses on the notion of the language of the sculptures of French sculptor Emile Antoine Bourdelle and the credibility it has gained because of the very materiality of the sculptured objects. It notes that the significance of Bourdelle's some monumental figures were apparently not related to the Great War, not even to French culture, such as the sculpture "Victory." Some of the sculptures of Bourdelle are "The Alvear Monument," "Mickiewicz Monument" and "Polish Epic. It also notes that the relationship between thematic and technique in Bourdelle nearly always provided the means to misrecognise the authoritarian principles of the ideology of cultural reconstruction.
