Richly illustrated with black-and-white photographs, the volume traces the career of an artist who transformed metal, industrial materials and scrap elements into powerful and dynamic sculptural forms.
The son of Nobel Prize-winning physician Charles Richet and an opera singer, Albert Féraud chose an artistic path and became one of the major representatives of modern monumental sculpture in France.
