Artwork description
Marcel Barbeau produced Nadia ou Le Saut du tremplin in 1976, the year Montréal hosted the Olympic Games, hence the reference to the gymnast Nadia Comaneci. Before the young athlete won gold, the work’s original title was Le Saut du tremplin, inspired by Théodore de Banville’s poem. With its dynamic, bright red lines, its distinct fluidity and aerial nature, this sculpture invites viewers to experience space, time, and perambulation.
