Vénus des Arts, Bronze sculpture in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France
The bronze sculpture combines a female form with musical instruments including a cello, piano, and flute arranged in deconstructed strips.
French artist Arman created this outdoor sculpture in 1992 as part of his exploration of deconstructed forms and musical instruments in art.
The sculpture integrates references to classical art through the Venus figure while incorporating modern artistic elements through its fragmented composition.
The sculpture stands permanently at the intersection of rue Jacques-Callot and rue de Seine in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.
Each segment of the sculpture presents a different perspective, mixing the human form with musical instruments in an experimental arrangement.
