Émile Fabry
This wonderful double portrait is illustrative of the artist Émile Fabry’s creative process. Depicted en profile, the soldier and young woman have been depicted in an idealized manner.

The Italian sculptor, whose style is so profoundly personal and genuine that it resists classification, remained indifferent to the concerns of the avant-gardes or schools of his time. Born in Milan in 1868, Wildt was considered one of the last great symbolists. His training started … Continue reading “Adolfo Wildt”
