Owing to his poor health, he had to discontinue studying medicine and was therefore able to completely dedicate himself to sculpting. He created some of the most unusual sculptures of his generation and without doubt emphatically influenced the history of modern art.<br><br>Duchamp-Villon was one of the members of the Cubist group of the <em>Puteaux<\/em>, artists who focused entirely on the plastic representation of movement and thus formed the contrasting foil to the analytical approach of the Montmartre Group round Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. In 1911, he exhibited at the <em>Salon d\u2019Automne<\/em> and impressed viewers with a highly simplified portrait before presenting his Cubist outlook with geometrically constructed busts. His interest in architecture and construction strongly informed his artistic output, as can be seen in the design for the fa\u00e7ade of the<em> La Maison Cubiste<\/em> villa in Paris (1912). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/iiif.duchamparchives.org\/image\/iiif\/2\/Photo_AlbumFam_no.060_001\/square\/!350%2C350\/0\/default.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Raymond Duchmp-Villon<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">\u00a9 Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duchamparchives.org\/search\/?s=Raymond+Duchamp-Villon&amp;i=0&amp;sz=50&amp;sort=_score&amp;dir=desc&amp;sortlab=nameaz\">duchamparchives.org<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zentriert'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.artic.edu\/iiif\/2\/c78e051b-82df-aa39-6d4f-ca4e8ae1b991\/full\/843,\/0\/default.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Le Cheval (Das Pferd), 1914, Bronze, 99 \u00d7 61 \u00d7 91.4 cm, Art Insitute Chicago<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">\u00a9 Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artic.edu\/artworks\/5580\/horse\">artic.edu<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline toggle-optional-button' data-pattern='ho\/text-option-headline-button'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Lorem ipsum<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>When World War I broke out, he reported for duty as a medical auxiliary, having started research in 1913 on his piece entitled \u201cLe Cheval\u201d (The Horse) \u2013 a combination of horse and machine that was to lay the foundations for his artistic career and his oeuvre as a whole. On the basis of countless naturalist preliminary studies and investigations of how horses trot, Duchamp-Villon developed what was initially a small plaster cast shaped like a horse for the 1914 <em>Salon d\u2019Automne<\/em>.<br><br>In line with Cubism and the science of his day, in it he united the steed\u2019s dynamic movement with geometrical machine elements reminiscent of wheels, pistons, and shafts. The sculpture visualizes the transformation of the Industrial Age, with the horse being replaced by a machine and the natural corporeality of the animal blending into smooth-surfaced planes, lines, and volumes. \u201cLe Cheval\u201d metaphorically captures power and dynamism in poetic formal vocabulary, making it one of the masterpieces of early 20th-century European sculpture. Today, countless versions of the piece are to be found in museums the world over. <br><br>Raymond Duchamp-Villon caught typhoid at the end of 1918 and died aged only 42. His untimely death came as a shock to the entire family. Around 1930, his brothers Jaques Villon and Marcel Duchamp handled the casting of the sculpture and enlarging of the bronze \u201cLe Cheval,\u201d making very sure that the different versions were realized firmly in line with their brother\u2019s artistic ideas. One of the bronzes went on show in 1955 at Documenta 1 in Kassel. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-medien-bild-text-links-grosses-bild-rechts-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-6  mobile-margin-bottom-4'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-1 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='mobile-margin-bottom-5'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4 ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Painter Jacques Villon \u2013 better known than Marcel Duchamp? <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>What is just as amazing as Raymond Duchamp-Villon\u2019s achievements as a sculptural pioneer and his siblings\u2019 posthumous continuation of his life\u2019s work is the artistic career of Jacques Villon (born Gaston Duchamp, 1875\u20131963). The eldest of the four siblings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kunstforum.de\/artikel\/marcel-duchamp\/\">was at times probably better known in Europe than his now famous brother Marcel Duchamp<\/a>, whose international breakthrough did not come until the 1960s.<br> <br>As a co-founder of the Cubist <em>Puteaux <\/em>group and a board member of the <em>Salon Automne<\/em>, Villon played a strong part in trailblazing avant-garde exhibitions. At the same time, his inclusion in the Amory Show in 1913 in New York helped establish European Modernism in the USA. It seems somewhat obvious to assume that he therefore acted as a kind of role model for his younger siblings and paved the way for them, as it were.<br><br>Villon produced over 600 engravings and lithographs in total, whereby his work can initially be classified as Cubist. After Cubist portraits, such as that of his father produced in 1924, Villon\u2019s paintings, with their intense colors, increasingly moved toward complete abstraction. Inspired by physicist Ogden Rood, Villon viewed color as a \u201cweight on the scales of emotions\u201d and as of the 1930s increasingly devoted himself to the theory of color. In his innumerable abstract works, he primarily arranged blocks of unadulterated color on flat surfaces in order to redefine notions of pictorial depth. He started exhibiting with the Parisian avant-garde group <em>Abstraction-Cr\u00e9ation<\/em> and continued to be held in high regard in the USA. <br><br>Villon was one of the leading masters of the \u00c9cole de Paris and in 1950 won first prize in the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh and the Grand Prize for Painting at the 1956 Venice Biennale. At this point in time, Jacques Villon was still the most popular member of the Duchamp family. Together with Marc Chagall and Roger Bissi\u00e8re, he designed the stained-glass windows for Metz Cathedral, and in 1963 he became the only member of this extraordinary family of artists to be made a Commander of the Legion of Honor. He died that same year. <br><br>In 1968, the works of Jacques Villon, Raymond Villon-Duchamp, Suzanne Duchamp, and Marcel Duchamp went on display together at Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts in Rouen in the exhibition \u201cLes Duchamps\u201d; Marcel as the only still living sibling helped organize the show. They were evidently one another\u2019s fiercest critics, but above all each always supported the others down their artistic paths. The relationships between the Duchamp siblings would appear not to have been ones of competition and instead to have hinged on deep mutual understanding and profound respect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/prabook.com\/web\/show-photo.jpg?id=2283231&#038;cache=false\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Jacques Villon<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">\u00a9 Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/prabook.com\/web\/jacques.villon\/1109730#google_vignette\">prabook.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zwei-bilder-mittel-mittel'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-xs-11 mobile-margin-bottom-5'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/art.paris\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DSC03467_1800x1800.jpg?v=1734284736\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Jacques Villon, Abstract Cubist Composition, 1961, lithograph, 65 x 51 cm<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via<a href=\"https:\/\/art.paris\/de\/products\/jacques-villon-composition-cubiste-abstraite-affiche-en-lithographie\">art.paris<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-11 col-xs-offset-1 col-md-5 col-md-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_mJVyHD\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 45702,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-300x249.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":249,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":16793},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-1024x851.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":851,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":174950},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-768x638.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":638,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":96723},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-1536x1277.jpg\",\"width\":1536,\"height\":1277,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":375517},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-2048x1703.jpg\",\"width\":2048,\"height\":1703,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":618649},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-440x366.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":366,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":32065},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-580x482.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":482,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":54732},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-720x599.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":599,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":84347},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-1280x1064.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":1064,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":268140},\"full\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745-1920x1596.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1596,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":555395},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Pfeifer_Villon_webversion_IMG_1745.jpg\",\"width\":2645,\"height\":2199}},\n\"alt\" : \"Abstract composition with geometric shapes, lines, and a color palette of blue, gray, green, and earth tones.\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : null,\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : null,\n\"background\" : false,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:83.137996219282%;
