Crow 1928

François Pompon's "Crow" (1928) is a striking example of Art Deco sculpture. Pompon, known for his animal sculptures, captured the essence of the crow with simplified, geometric forms. The sleek, black bronze sculpture conveys both the crow's predatory nature and its elegant grace, showcasing Pompon's talent for conveying movement and life in static forms. The crow's sharp beak and watchful eye add to its powerful presence, while the smooth, streamlined form suggests a sense of speed and agility.
