Apollon 1937

"Apollon" is a bronze sculpture by Charles Despiau, created in 1937. This piece depicts the Greek god Apollo, known for his beauty, athleticism, and artistic talents. Despiau, known for his simplified and elegant style, captures Apollo's youthful grace through the figure's streamlined form and balanced posture. The draped cloth adds a touch of movement and texture, contrasting with the smooth, muscular physique. Despiau's masterful use of bronze, emphasizing the form's subtle contours, further enhances the classical ideal of Apollo's physical perfection.
