Bronze sculpture on marble base // Arman Fernandez’s Venus au Violon (1991) is a bronze sculpture standing 71 cm high and set on a marble base. This artwork reimagines the classical figure of Venus intertwined with the form of a violin, blending human anatomy with musical elements. The bronze patina provides a warm, aged finish, contrasting with the polished metal of the violin parts, which seamlessly merge with the figure’s body. This fusion of object and form reflects Arman’s fascination with deconstructing and recontextualizing familiar items. The sculpture conveys a sense of harmony between art and music, encapsulating Arman’s unique approach to Nouveau Réalisme, where everyday objects are elevated into thought-provoking compositions.

What is Nouveau Realism?
Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
