Germaine Richier was a French sculptor born on September 16, 1902, in Grans, and died on July 21, 1959, in Montpellier. She studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Montpellier and worked with Antoine Bourdelle. Richier's early works combined classical forms with human-animal hybrids. After World War II, her style became less figurative, focusing on bodily deformation to convey anguish. She was known for controversial works, including a statue of Christ that sparked debate about sacred art. Richier's notable pieces include La borrasca, El Crist, and L'Ogre, with works in prestigious museums.
