Zadkine Museum


The third dimension in cubism
100 bis Rue d'Assas
Paris 75006

This museum is the former studio of the sculptor Ossip Zadkine and comprises around 100 pieces bequeathed by his widow. Of Russian origins, the artist established himself in Paris in 1909. Disappointed by the academic education he received in London and Paris, he turned to other sources of inspiration. Rodin, Roman and Gothic statues, as well as African art became models in his quest to adapt to the third dimension of the aesthetic principles of cubism. Rather than offering revolutionary discoveries, he preferred to use the traditional methods to create his masterpieces. Admission to the collections is free.
