For Germaine Richier (1902-1959), sculpture is the meeting of an instinctive feeling and an eminently thought-out and constructed form. The specificity of her work also lies in the reading that literary critics have given to it.

This is the first study devoted to a major artist whose career lasted barely more than twenty-five years, from 1934 to 1959, and is based on unpublished texts and correspondence between Ponge, Paulhan, Limbour, Pieyre de Mandiargues and Solier. Closer to an essay than to a traditional monograph, it focuses on the study of certain works, adopting the approach of showing the singularity of a plastic language that has set up reference points.
