Sculpture

Jacob Bendien, 1933

Jacob Bendien and Jan van Deene, both from Amsterdam, became friends in Paris in 1912. They each found a studio in the Montparnasse district and made their first abstract paintings there. Twenty years later, Bendien created an abstract sculpture in the same style: an upward-pointing form that seems to want to break free from its pedestal.
