Marie-Madeleine Gautier
Only Marie-Madeleine finds it perfectly natural to have been born, in 1956, in her grandfather's windmill. Just as natural as the move from kindergarten's plasticine to that of the Beaux-Arts de Paris where her teachers encouraged her vocation to be a sculptress.
« This is not a profession ! » worridly aired her family. It however became hers.
It is now twenty years that with the same talent she portrays daily life, family, animals, excursions, life at the furnace, in short, all that surrounds her. The style sometimes changes, but not the essence : the moment of pleasure and the tenderness.
The moment of pleasure : peaceful walks along the riverside and their meetings.
Tenderness : the young cheeky girl who we expect in a few seconds to stretch out those arms so obstinately crossed with a burst of laughter...
But pleasure and tenderness often come together in daily life, whether we are capturing the moment one's children are playing calmly (for once ?) or whether it's the hippopotamus, placid and massive on his short legs, so perfectly portrayed...
And then, of course, travel, a great source of inspiration.
Like Venice, so often explored in all directions, drawn by day and by night. Or else the Far East, the genuine one, far away from tourist coaches and hotel-clubs, getting to know its people, their smiles, their cooking, their dances...
From the very onset of her career as a sculptress focused entirely on the most frequently subject in art, the human body . Yet hers was no banal exploration of esthetics, but a celebration of woman.
« Marie-Madeleine Gautier sculptures are designed and constructed. Anatomical structures that reflect the basic principles of today’s architecture : stillness and motion, density and buoyancy, contrasts and harmony. Everything in her approach, despite superficial appearances, emphasize balance and presents a very personal harmony of proportions, with undoubtedly a hint of that intimate French Savoir-Vivre » Otto Pannewizt , Curator Sindelfingen Museum
