Three Howling Heads / Têtes hurlantes — planned for the war monument Memorial to the Warriors and Defenders of Tarn-et-Garonne in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71) Bourdelle designed for the city Montauban (but not used) as allegories of war: Suffering and Death are silent but Terror howls incessantly.
