Alexandre Noll

French, 1890 - 1970
Alexandre Noll was a French artist and sculptor who lived from 1890 to 1970. He was known for his innovative use of natural materials such as wood, stone, and metal in his sculptures and for his commitment to sustainable art practices.
 
Noll began his career as a painter and decorator but soon turned to sculpture. He developed a unique style that combined abstract and organic forms with a deep respect for the natural world. He often used wood from trees that had fallen naturally or had been felled for reasons other than their use in art.
 
Noll's sculptures were often large and imposing, with rough-hewn surfaces that emphasized the natural beauty of the materials he used. He also experimented with techniques such as burning and carving to create intricate textures and patterns.
 
In addition to his work as a sculptor, Noll was also a passionate advocate for sustainable art practices. He believed that artists had a responsibility to work in harmony with nature and to use materials in a way that respected their inherent beauty and integrity.
 
Noll's work has been exhibited in many major galleries and museums around the world, including the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His legacy continues to inspire artists and designers today, particularly those interested in sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
