On one side of the sculpture, a line of molten brass slides along the silhouette. This bright line highlights the form and creates a striking contrast between the deep shadow of the steel and the sunny shine of the brass. It is a piece from the Intimate range that deliberately retains the traces of fusion and gesture, evoking a timeless presence situated between the artistic memory of the early 20th century and contemporary expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bz4ryo_2nQc\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSculpture Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.6282%;\"\u003eTitle of the work\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.0108%;\"\u003emuse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.6282%;\"\u003eCollection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.0108%;\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Small size Body Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/collections\/corps-petite-taille\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSmall size Body\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.6282%;\"\u003eArtist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.0108%;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/pages\/qui-suis-je\" title=\"Presentation of the artist Philippe Buil\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePhilippe Buil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.6282%;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.0108%;\"\u003eContemporary sculpture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.6282%;\"\u003eTechnique\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.0108%;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sculpture-buil.com\/pages\/technique\" title=\"Philippe Buil's metal lace technique\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMetal lace\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.6282%;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.0108%;\"\u003eSteel and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebrass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.6282%;\"\u003eSignature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 61.0108%;\"\u003eEngraved on plaque\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSteel base diameter 3.1 in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight 13 in - Width 3.1 in - Depth 3.1 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFAQ - Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat is Joseph Lamberton's influence on this sculpture?\u003c\/b\u003e Lamberton sculpted a muse for the Massenet monument in Saint-Étienne in 1929.
