Raymond Duchamp-Villon

Sculpture

French sculptor Raymond Duchamp-Villon, one of the first to apply the Cubist style in three dimensions, is best known for his dynamic bronze sculptures. Geometrically abstracted, smooth-surfaced and thrumming with energy, his pieces evoke a striking synthesis of muscular and mechanical motion. Working closely with his brothers, the artists Marcel Duchamp and Jacques Villon, Duchamp-Villon was an influential advocate for Cubism in the early 20th century.
