RICHMAN, Francine

Francine Richman studied at the Saidye Bronfman Centre and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts’ School of Art and Design. In 1969, she participated in an exhibition at the Centre d’art du Mont-Royal; the following year, she received first prize at the Concours de sculptures du Centre culturel Maisonneuve. Influenced by the abstract sculptures of Brancusi, Juan Arp and Henry Moore, she creates supple figures that bring to mind the movements of dancers, while areas of material left untouched offer a glimpse of the creative process.
