Summary

Description

Parc du Mont-Royal, MontréalSculptrice et graveuse américaine née à Minneapolis, Shirley Witebsky (1925-1966) étudie d’abord à l’université à Minneapolis avant de se rendre à Paris en 1952, où elle étudie à l’Atelier 17 avec Stanley Hayter.

Sur un socle de calcaire est déposée une sculpture monolithique en dolomite composée de reliefs courbes intégrés à un centre perforé à quatre endroits. L’œuvre, de taille réduite, semble discrète et délicate dans cet environnement du parc du Mont-Royal dominé par des sculptures de dimensions souvent importantes.

La sculpture de Witebsky ne s’impose pas par ostentation. Le caractère organique de ses formes arrondies contribue plutôt à créer un effet de proximité et d’intimité qui incite le spectateur à l’introspection. Une certaine sensualité se dégage par ailleurs de la silhouette sinueuse de cette pièce.
