Cesar, A New Approach To Sculpture
Synopsis
Between narrative compression and visual expansion, this one-hour film skillfully pieces together the career spanning five decades of an unclassifiable artist who left his stamp on the art world.
With his compressions, his sculptures in wrought iron, his giant digits and his expansions, César blew apart the bedrock of classical sculpture and laid the foundations of a modern and spectacular kind of art that is firmly anchored in its time.
A brilliant and radical craftsman, adored by the media and snubbed by his peers, the creator of France's annual film awards' trophy ; that bears his name ; even stated that the artist's hand was no longer necessary to create works of art.
