His first sculptures depicting the composer were sketched as early as 1888 from which many variants were produced. He opts for purity rigor of forms. Bourdelle became one of the precursors of the monumental sculpture of the twentieth century which aroused admiration especially that of Auguste Rodin.<br />His work is considered the embodiment of an aesthetic break an alternative to the avant-gardes of the time and will have a decisive influence on the folowing generations of artists.</p><p>A poet and art critic from Brussels André Fontainas 1865-1948 worked from 1889 at the <em>Mercure de France</em> where he served as a link between Belgian symbolist and French poets.
