COMMENT: André Verdet was a poet, painter and close friend of many post-war artists, including Picasso, Matisse, Léger, and Chagall. He often wrote poetic and critical texts about their works. His text L'Homme au mouton (The Man with the Sheep) is part of this approach: a poetic meditation on Picasso's sculpture created in 1943 during the Occupation. Sometimes referred to as the "Guernica" of sculpture, L'homme au mouton is of particular importance in Picasso's work. It is a monumental statue of a naked man carrying a sheep in his arms - an image of gentleness, humanity and protection in the midst of a time of war and suffering. Three bronze copies of the sculpture were made. One of the three copies was donated to the town of Vallauris, and "L'Homme au mouton" became the first Picasso sculpture to be installed in a public space, in accordance with the artist's wish that it should live among the local people. The work can be seen today in Vallauris, on the church square. It often symbolises peace, fraternity and human responsibility.
