The artist

Born in 1924 in New York, George Segal lived and worked in New Jersey, USA, until his death in 2000. His tableaux are reflections on the individual and her/his place in 20th century society. He plays on the permeability of spaces, inviting the viewer to enter into a dialogue with anonymous and motionless figures. He pioneered the application of plaster bandages to the model's body, a technique he used to reveal the evocative power of gesture and its poetical, social, erotic and political dimensions.

"I discovered that ordinary human beings with no great pretensions of being handsome were somehow singing and beautiful in their rhythms. The people that I prefer to use again and again as models are friends [and relatives] with a very lively mental life...I discovered that I had to totally respect the entity of a specific human being, and it’s a whole other set of insights, a whole other set of attitudes. It’s a different idea of beauty and it has to do with the gift of life, the gift of consciousness, the gift of a mental life."
