NOTICE
Émile Gilioli (1911-1977) was a French abstract sculptor of Italian origin, and a major figure of lyrical abstraction in sculpture after the Second World War. Trained in Nice, then at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, and influenced by Cubism, archaic Greek statuary and ancient Egypt, he developed an aesthetic based on pure forms, broken lines and poetic balance. A friend of artists such as Étienne Martin, Alicia Penalba and François Stahly, he took part in the major post-war salons (Réalités Nouvelles, Jeune Sculpture) and received numerous public commissions, notably for war memorials and Resistance memorials. His work, sober and rigorous, harmoniously blends form, material and light, shining as much in public collections as in monumental spaces.
