Autores ResumoPaul Landowski's Temple de l’Homme. A “total art ” project. Conceived as early as 1900, but remaining a project taken up several times until 1950, Paul Landowski’s Temple à la Pensée et à T effort humain (“Temple to Human Thought and Effort”) is an example of “total art”, the idea of which can be compared to other similar works of the beginnings of the 20th C. Numerous drawings, plasters, models and several carved out groups are still extent. The conception of the sculptures combine friezes in low-reliefs on doors and walls, and round figures. The whole should have represented the heroic figures of the universal history, religions, mythologies, and philosophies. Achieving these gigantic reliefs would have required the support of a patron Paul Landowski, in spite of an official career, never found.
