In the present bronze Mother and Child from 1975, Sorel Etrog develops one of his central pictorial ideas: the combination of two figures - mother and child - in an almost fused, organically mechanical form. The slender, vertically orientated bronze with a black patina reduces the motif to a compressed, movement-oriented volume. The horizontal distance between the figures seems to have been cancelled out; instead, they appear like a figure unfolding together, whose contours are anchored in the material. The mother-child motif is one of the constant themes in Etrog's work: it not only reflects personal experiences, but also symbolises transition, completion and the passing on of life. Etrog, who was born in Romania in 1933 and later worked in Israel and Canada, is one of the most important sculptors of the second half of the 20th century. His bronze sculptures are characterised by a formal mixture of organic and mechanical elements - such as screws, joints or hinges - through which physicality and technology are negotiated, as it were. Etrog's work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale (1966) and the World Exhibition in Montréal (1967) and at the Olympic Games in Seoul (1988). Today, works by the artist can be found in renowned museums such as the MoMA, New York, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem and the Tate, London.
