Ossip Zadkine

1888–1967 · Belarusian-French

  • Beaux-Arts de Paris
  • Chelsea College of Art and Design

Ossip Zadkine developed a modern sculptural language from Cubist fragmentation, carved wood and increasingly expressive figures. His postwar monument The Destroyed City became a powerful response to the bombing of Rotterdam.
