Биоморфни белези в монументалната скулптура на Боян Райнов
Biomorphic Traces in The Monumental Sculpture of Boyan Rainov

Summary/Abstract: Boyan Rainov is born in 1921 in a family of which almost every member is dedicated to art. He himself is not well known in Bulgaria because of the fact that from 1946 he lived and worked in Paris, France. His work took place in the fields of drawing, illustration, relief and easel sculpture, but at the time of his stay in the French capital he managed to produce a number of outdoor monumental sculptural compositions. They are typical examples of one formal tradition in modern sculpture that refers its characteristics to organic and nonorganic natural objects. That tradition, often called biomorphic, is familiar to us from the work of Constantin Brancusi, Jean Arp and Henry Moore.
