1988 bronze sculpture of Francois Charles Mauriac by Haïm Kern at Place Alphonse Deville in Paris, France
Hommage à François Mauriac is a 1988 bronze sculpture of François Charles Mauriac by Haïm Kern at Place Alphonse Deville in Paris, France. The sculpture is a patinated bronze cast using the lost wax process. The writer François Mauriac appears standing before two steles posed as an open book. At the junction of two pages, the cutting of a recessed cross reminds his Christian faith. The two pages that seem to sprout read from bottom to top, and recall the titles of his major writings. Francois Mauriac was a French novelist, dramatist, critic, poet, and journalist. François Mauriac was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1952 and the Grand Cross of the Legion d'honneur in 1958.
