François Pompon is associated with the modernist movement in sculpture, characterized by the simplification of forms and the elimination of superfluous details to highlight pure and polished lines.
Pompon was influenced by extreme Eastern art, particularly Japonism, and Egyptian art, admiring works such as the Apis Bull. He was also inspired by oriental animal bronzes and discoveries of primitive and prehistoric civilizations.

François Pompon is known for his simplified and polished animal sculptures, with "L’Ours blanc" from 1922 marking a decisive turning point in his career. His artistic recognition came late, but his work has left a lasting imprint on the history of modern sculpture.
