Biography
Charles Jacob carved form from stone with a bold imagination that placed him among France’s thoughtful sculptors of the twentieth century. His pieces invited viewers to pause and consider the interplay of light and shadow, of presence and absence.
His gentle influence lingers near Neuilly-sur-Seine, where the Old Communal Cemetery shelters the spirit of an artist devoted to the quiet power of craft.
