Souffle de Mai 1968

"Souffle de Mai" (1968) by Gérard Fromanger is a large-scale, red, translucent sculpture, featuring the distorted reflections of figures within its curved surface. This piece, created during a time of significant social and political change in France, is characteristic of Fromanger's Pop Art style, often incorporating everyday objects and themes of popular culture. The use of a simple, bright red color and the distorted reflections of figures within the sculpture evokes a sense of both intimacy and anonymity, inviting viewers to contemplate the complex interactions within society.
