Le Sculpteur Moderne

Jan 31, 1908
Dans un décor théâtral et coloré, Juliette Mathieu présente de petits personnages sous forme de statuettes antiques. Posés sur un socle ou composant un tableau, ces êtres minuscules miment parfois un combat, puis se figent. Puis viennent des statues d'argile. Les blocs de glaise se transforment et s'animent seuls, comme par magie, pour devenir tour à tour un chapeau entouré de chats joueurs, un godillot habité par des souris, un aigle battant des ailes, un singe fumeur de pipe, un crocodile ou un lion rugissant. Le tour le plus singulier, aujourd'hui encore, est la sculpture animée de cette vieille femme assise sur une chaise qui se lève tout à coup pour se métamorphoser en un être vivant. Après avoir effectué quelques pas, elle est saisie par les mains de Julienne Mathieu et façonnée jusqu'à retrouver sa forme première.
