Robert COUTURIER (1905–2008) Le Dos, c. 1980 Limestone sculpture Signed on the back Provenance: former Yves Gastou collection. Dimensions: 26.8 x 43 x 10 cm Note: A singular figure in 20th-century French sculpture, Robert Couturier is distinguished by a resolutely modern approach to the human body, emphasizing the purity of form and freedom in the treatment of volume. With *Le Dos*, the artist offers an interpretation of the female anatomy that is both sensual and minimalist, where the simplicity of the lines allows the expressive power of the material to shine through. Carved from limestone, this work reflects his quest for a subtle balance between abstraction and figuration. Its provenance from the former collection of Yves Gastou—a gallerist and collector renowned for his unique perspective on 20th-century art—lends it added appeal. A sculpture with an intimate and timeless character, particularly appealing to lovers of modern art.
