Mario Vives (1891–1990) Motherhood Wood sculpture Signed and inscribed “M. VIVES / PARIS” H. 36.5 x W. 36.5 x D. 19 cm This group sculpture, depicting a mother cradling her child while caressing the child’s face with her right hand, is part of Mario Vivès’s series of sculptures dedicated to the theme of motherhood. Trained at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, Vivès received a scholarship that allowed him to study in Paris in 1910. With the help of sculptor Antoine Bofill, he extended his stay and became part of the circle of artists and intellectuals in the Montparnasse district. In 1924, he exhibited a sculpture titled *Maternité* at the Salon d’Automne, intended for the Mirador Gardens in Barcelona. From this initial group, he created variations in different sizes and materials. Related work: -Mario Vivès, *Maternité*, stoneware, Céret, Place Henri Guitard.
