Maxime Adam-Tessier Figural Bronze Sculpture
About the Item
Rare and important figural bronze abstract sculpture, Claire, by Maxime Adam-Tessier (1920-2000) circa 1960s. Her unique bust is atypical of his work. Signed with a monogram and marked Susse Fondeur Paris, this is number 4 out of an edition of 6 although only 5 of the 6 casts have been made.
His sculptures can be found throughout France, such as the RER station of La Défense (1969) called, Boréale, a bas-relief created out of stainless steel along with more than twenty other sculptures in France. At La Defense he is in the company of Alexander Caulder, Yaacov Agam, César Baldaccini, Jean Dewasne and Joan Miró to name a few.
Maxime Adam-Tessier was born in Rouen in 1920. He attended Académie Julian, Paris and studied under Despiau in 1939 and later, in 1945, under Laurens. His first exhibition was held at Galerie Arc-en-ciel, Paris in 1947 followed by exhibitions in the Salons - de May, Comparisons, Jeune sculpture, Réalités nouvelles.
During early years Maxime Adam-Tessier emerged from the figurative forms to Cubist forms 'with volumes dense and full, no accident interrupts, only slight accents, barely indicated, hanging light to spread a secret life' (H. Wesche).
In the 1950s Maxime Adam-Tessier exhibited abroad, in Germany, the United States, at the Sao Paulo Biennial, 1952; and in the Carara, 1957, where he won a prize. In 1960 he exhibited at the Victor Waddington Gallery in London.
In addition, Maxime Adam-Tessier also taught at Middlesex Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art, London.
