In Roman mythology, "Libertas" is the goddess of freedom, and in this masterfully executed bronze statue, Arman has succeeded in bringing about a renewal of the well-known symbol of freedom. The "Statue of Liberty" outside New York was a gift to the US from the French people and one can understand the statue's personal significance for the artist as Arman himself moved from France to the US in the 60's. With a proud posture and outstretched hand, the woman spreads the fire of the torch and is today one of the world's most monumental images. Here we see Arman at his best, a timeless work that stands up for the freedom in all of us.
Fernandez Arman (1928-2005) was a French sculptor and visual artist active in France and the United States. He studied at the Ècole du Louvre in Paris. Arman belonged to the so-called "new realists", a group created by Pierre Restany and Yves Klein and others. The neo-realists depicted mass-produced everyday objects and integrated them into their works. Restany argues that "neorealism" observes sociological reality without any controversial intentions. This could possibly open up an understanding of Arman's work. During the late 1950s, the focus of his work shifted from traditional painting and sculpture to the "readymade" and the object itself. Readymade denotes an everyday, often mass-produced object, in the art world often called "objet trouvé", which an artist has selected and elevated to art. Arman is best known for his sculptures depicting compositions of objects, often musical instruments, such as saxophones and violins.
