Georges JEANCLOS (1933–1997) Mourning Stone (Kaddish Urn), 1976. One-of-a-kind piece, terracotta, bearing inscriptions in Hebrew. Height: 22.5 cm Provenance: - Gifted by the artist to the current owner in 1976. This sculpture has a particularly intimate and autobiographical dimension. Created in 1976, the year of Georges Jeanclos’s father’s death, this Kaddish Urn is part of a deeply personal series conceived by the sculptor as a tribute to his memory. The title refers to the Kaddish, a prayer in the Jewish tradition recited, in particular, by sons mourning their father. Through its personal history, direct provenance, and symbolic significance, this work occupies a unique place in Georges Jeanclos’s body of work. It bears witness to the deep connection that unites, for the sculptor, artistic creation, family memory, and meditation on absence and mourning.
