UndinesHenri Laurens

In this sculptural diptych (1934), Laurens evokes the mythological undines—female water spirits—emerging from the sea. Their curving, sensual forms blend with wave-like elements, reflecting the artist’s shift from Cubism to a more organic, lyrical style. Inspired by the ocean’s rhythms, Laurens celebrates the body’s fluidity and the sea’s dreamlike power.
