Wooden rocking toy in polar bear design for toddlers. This rocking toy is made in France by Vilac and inspired by the famous sculpture of the White Bear by François Pompon.
Recommended for ages 3 and up.
With his small portable workbench, the sculptor François Pompon (1855-1933) liked to walk around the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. There he could observe animals and make small sketches. Back in his studio, he sculpted bears, panthers, but also dogs, chickens and rabbits, simplifying the forms to find the very essence of each animal. Thus, before the eyes of visitors to the Musée d'Orsay, where many of these sculptures are kept, the animals come to life!
In collaboration with the Rmn-Grand Palais and the Musée d'Orsay, the artist Gérard Lo Monaco has created the "Pompon Toys" collection. This collection, inspired by the sculptor François Pompon (1855-1933), a large number of whose works are kept at the Musée d'Orsay, is made up of wooden games and toys manufactured by VILAC, the French specialist in wooden toys for children. These six wooden figurines, "Pompon Toys", follow the pure lines of the sculptures of the artist Pompon.
