Description

[Abstract]
Artists and writers, whether exiled or merely seeking a change of scenery, have often chosen the Mediterranean or, more generally, the South, as the ideal spot, a space in which they can create, or write. In 1934 Ossip Zadkine chose to set up a studio in Arques, in the Lot, and it was beneath a light that he perceived as Southern that he rediscovered the presence of trees and a soil which nourished his sculpture-work. Just as Lawrence Durrell liked to say that we are "the children of our landscapes," so the South became for Zadkine a place of rebirth or at least of reinvention.
