Paul Gauguin, Oviri (Sauvage), 1894, partially glazed stoneware, 75 x 19 x 27 cm, Musée d'Orsay, Paris, Paul Gauguin

The theme of oviri is death, savagery, wildness. Oviri stands over a dead she-wolf, while crushing the life out of her cub. As gauguin wrote to odilon redon, it is a matter of "life in death". From the back, oviri looks like auguste rodin's balzac, a sort of menhir symbolizing the gush of creativity. Source. Date: 1894 (sculpture), 2013 (photo of sculpture).
