Catalogue Note
numbered '7', white terracotta. Executed in 1922 in an edition of 11 numbered from 0 to 10.
Avant d'être une représentation de quoi que ce soit, ma sculpture est un fait plastique et, plus exactement, une suite d'évènements plastiques, de produits de mon imagination, de réponses aux exigences de la construction. Voilà, en somme, tout ce qui constitue le travail.
Henri Laurens, 1952
