The Art Deco sculpture ”The Bender” (Le Bendeur) was originally created by the French sculptor Jean de Roncourt. “The Bender” is a detailed and realistic image of a well trained athlete who is bending a steel pole. This is one of the best known sculptures from the artist de Roncourt who became famous for his male nude sculptures. The shown exhibit was made of 100% bronze and is showing an almost naked human, only dressed with a loincloth.
