The most renowned version, carved in stone, is housed in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrançois Pompon (1855–1933) began his career assisting Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin before dedicating himself to the beauty of animals and the simplification of form in 1905. In \u003cem\u003eL’ours blanc\u003c\/em\u003e, he stripped away superfluous detail while masterfully capturing the essence, movement, and texture of the animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this special edition, \u003cem\u003eL’ours Pompon\u003c\/em\u003e is enveloped in Yves Klein Blue—the ultramarine hue with a matte finish registered by Klein in 1960 as IKB (International Klein Blue). This distinctive color was born from Klein’s collaboration with Édouard Adam in Paris in 1954, as he sought a medium that could preserve the pure brilliance of ultramarine pigment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alriz Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52076618023205,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/6300\/5477\/files\/2ce38b27-74c368_d2753311d61c4536b196bd2b3c150af4_mv2.jpg?v=1773498051","url":"https:\/\/alrizgallery.com\/products\/yves-klein-and-francois-pompon-ours-pompon","provider":"Alriz Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
