Untitled
photographic
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a photographic by Josué Dupon, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a bronze sculpture of a woman riding a bull. She holds the bull’s horns, leaning back as if in motion. The bull’s muscles are thick and detailed, with its head turned slightly to the side. The sculpture looks rough in spots, with some areas smoothed out more than others. This might be because it’s a cast, not carved from one block. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
A photograph by Josué Dupon is mounted on a green card, part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture, gathered these photographs in the 1920s by sending questionnaires to sculptors, whose responses are now held in the Archive of Art and Design.

Josué Dupont spent his days walking the streets of Paris with a tiny camera, snapping pictures of shadows stretching across cobblestones at 4 p.m.
