L'Amphion is a work of art by Henri Laurens, located in the Plaza Cubierta of the University City of Caracas.

[3] Villanueva hired many artists from around the world to contribute works to the campus, including Laurens.

[note 1] Laurens had not had formal art training, and began his career as a stonemason, exploring Cubism from around 1912.

[1] Villanueva reportedly asked, in 1952, for Laurens to build him something "tremendous" for his campus project; later that year, he began creating L'Amphion.

[4] L'Amphion is seen as a product of Laurens' development of style, an evolution between Cubist and Curvilinear art forms.
