Paris, Musée d'Orsay, October 18, 1994 to January 22, 1995, Paris, Gallimard / Electa, Réunion des musées nationaux, 1994, model listed under no. 122 C, p. 211. While still only a practitioner for such great names in modern sculpture as Alexandre Falguière, Camille Claudel, Auguste Rodin and René de Saint Marceaux, François Pompon began creating pure animal subjects in the 1880s, and more intensively from 1902 onwards. Noticed by publisher Adrien Hébrard, his first exhibition in 1919 was dedicated to his series of domestic animals. In 1922, at the encouragement of his friends Antoine Bourdelle and René Demeurisse, Pompon took part in the Salon d'Automne for the first time, presenting a large-format plaster model of a polar bear, a subject he had been working on since 1918. Following the model's considerable success at the Salon, Pompon reworked it several times between 1922 and 1927. He produced several versions with slight variations (notably the position of the paws) and in various dimensions in marble, bisque and bronze. This natural bisque proof of François Pompon's White Bear corresponds to version "C", where the straight paws do not touch, listed in the catalog published by Anne Pingeot in 1994.
