During her forced stay in Switzerland, Germaine Richier went on a walk in le Valais. The wood and leaf of the Homme-Forêt were gathered during that very stroll. Germaine Richier felt so proud of the result she decided to create a grammar of the places she liked, asking her brother for example to send her an olive branch from her home town. However, Richier was not interested in the « ready-made » : rather, her additions are reworked with soil, unearthed and remodeled until they can flawlessly blend in with the rest to create a whole. Flawlessly? Such was the opinion of René de Solier: « The webbed fingers of the Homme-Forêt, this amphibious hand, resembles a reversed graft; it is proof of the unexpected evolution of shapes which takes place as soon as the sculpture takes possession of the space surrounding it. » On his part, André Pieyre de Mandiargues litterally found fauna in her flora: « Has the sylvan characteristics of her work been truly appreciated? The Homme-Forêt for instance, whose ligneous arm made him an accomplice to the birds, hesitating between human and plant? Standing tall at a crossroads of soaring trees, beaming under rays of filtered light like little solar disks of sunshine, there was no other monument that could better complement past and present than this brand-new simulacrum of Priapus.» Jean-Louis Prat
