Wild Duck Taking Flight 1932

"Wild Duck Taking Flight" is a sculpture by French artist François Pompon, created in 1932. Pompon is known for his simplified, elegant animal sculptures that capture the essence of their subjects. This piece is a classic example of his style. The white duck, in mid-flight, is depicted with great dynamism and fluidity, while the minimalist base adds to the work's sense of movement and space. This iconic sculpture is a testament to Pompon's talent for capturing the beauty and grace of nature in his art.
