Terracotta sculpture by Jean Marais, the 3 faces, 1970

This terracotta sculpture, entitled Les 3 Visages, was made by Jean Marais in 1970. Signed by the artist on the lower part of the sculpture. The three identical faces seem spaced apart from each other while being connected. This design offers a unique and expressive vision of the human bond. The sculpture, designed in openwork perspective, allows all the details of the work to be seen and highlights the artist's talent. In very good general condition, this sculpture shows some natural signs of wear related to age and use. Jean Marais (1913-1998) was a multi-talented artist: actor, director and sculptor. Very involved in the art world, he was able to combine his passion for theater and cinema. Far from being a simple actor, Marais also marked his time with his sculptural works. He explored shapes and faces with a unique sensitivity. Far from limiting himself to the cinematographic universe, he was able to express through his sculptures a profound vision of humanity. A sculpture that does not lack character… and faces! Perfect for those who really want to see things from a different angle.
