Artist analysis
Igor Mitoraj (1944–2014) is a Franco-Polish sculptor famous for his monumental torsos and faces inspired by Greek and Roman statuary, often truncated, fissured or surrounded by bands/straps.
Motif design: Igor Mitoraj began his iconic series of torsos and draped or tied cuirasses from 1976, after his first formative trip to Italy (to Pietrasanta), where he discovered marble sculpture and bronze work.
