The essence of Lalanne’s aesthetic sensibility is present in this work. Ancient Egyptian influences interplay with Classical Greece but also with ionic 1920’s sculptors such as François Pompon, Edouard-Marcel Sandoz and of course Constantin Brancusi. François-Xavier’s subtle sense of humor creates a particular attachment to these magical symbols of peace.
