Style and technique of the artist Isabelle Waldberg
Isabelle Waldberg is a French artist whose work includes abstract bronze sculptures. She has also produced preparatory drawings and watercolors for her sculptures.
L’artiste travaille avec des matériaux variés. Elle utilise le bois (notamment le hêtre), le métal, le plâtre, le bronze, le liège et le plexiglas, en employant des méthodes comme le « plâtre direct », qui consiste à appliquer le plâtre en couches successives et sur une armature, et le façonnage de tiges de bois chauffées pour créer des formes courbes.
Elle réalise des constructions en bois et en métal, caractérisées par des structures aériennes et géométriques. Son style se situe entre figuration et abstraction, puisqu’il s’agit à la fois de formes reconnnaissables et de structures abstraites, explorant la frontière entre le réel et l’imaginaire.
Elle participe au mouvement surréaliste, en intégrant des éléments oniriques et symboliques dans ses sculptures. Son œuvre connaît une évolution stylistique importante puisqu’elle passe de constructions légères en bois dans les années 1940 à des sculptures plus massives en plâtre et bronze dans les décennies suivantes.
Elle explore surtout l’identitié féminine, ses œuvres abordent des thèmes liés à la féminité, à l’érotisme et à la mémoire. Elle s’inspire des études en sociologie et en ethnologie, intégrant des motifs et des concepts issus de diverses cultures.
Waldberg collabore avec des intellectuels bien connus de la scène internationale tels que Georges Bataille, André Breton et Marcel Duchamp, qui influencent durablement sa réflexion artistique.

The artist's career and the world of Isabelle Waldberg
Isabelle (née) Marghareta Waldberg is a French sculptor born in Switzerland in 1911.
She became interested in the techniques of metal forging and welding thanks to her uncle's forge, where she observed and learned, and studied at the Sorbonne, where she defended a thesis on Nietzsche, after having studied ethnology and sociology. In Paris, she met Alberto Giacometti and Patrick Waldberg, who urged her to change her first name to that of his first wife, which is why her artist's name will remain Isabelle Waldberg.
They both joined the Acéphale secret society. She produced her first works in France, but soon moved to New York, where she became close to the Surrealist group, which influenced her work even though it was not categorized as such.
From 1943 onwards, the artist produced his successful metal constructions.
In 1946, she returned to Paris, where she worked in Marcel Duchamp's studio and presented her work at several exhibitions.
In 1975, she was appointed professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
