Summary[edit]

Description
Français : Le titre, "Amazon", fait référence d'une part à la posture de la cavalière, dont les jambes sont positionnées le long du même flanc de la monture, et d'autre part, au peuple de guerrières de la mythologie grecque. Ce peuple serait issu d'une région qui correspond aujourd'hui à l'Ukraine, d'où viennent Chana et sa famille. L'artiste joue sur les codes en reprenant l'iconographie de la statue équestre, traditionnellement associée à la représentation de la puissance masculine, pour offrir le portrait synthétique d'un peuple de femmes libres et indépendantes. L'oeuvre, sculptée durant la Première Guerre Mondiale, rappelle aussi le rôle essentiel des femmes durant ce conflit, amazones des Temps modernes.
