About:
Maxime Tendero (1927-1998) was born in Givors, and his parents were of Spanish origin. Before he dedicated his life to his art, he had various occupations: draftsman in textiles in Castres, then architect companies in Toulouse, Paris, and Carcassonne. Spontaneously and intuitively dedicated to sculpture since childhood, he is in this field a passionate autodidact. Because of health problems, he devoted himself to sculpture in 1964. He worked alone, first in Carcassonne, then near Nice from 1968.
The human body, especially the feminine one, is omnipresent, including in the most abstract forms, revealed by some suggestive detail or movement.
The sculptor fixes without compromise the refined and idealized form in the nudity of the textures: the smoothest of the vein for the marble and the wood of the fruit trees.
A hymn to fullness and the endless desire to take flight, Maxime Tendero's work expresses the harmonious connivance between the matter and the mind originally and uniquely. See less
