About the Item

Louise Ochsé (Belgian, 1884-1944) Le Challenge de Gramont, 1925 Bronze Signed and dated on base 21 x 12 x 9 inches Louise Ochsé was a Franco-Belgian sculptor. Born in Brussels, Belgium, she eventually moved to Paris and exhibited her works at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts between 1905 and 1914 and at the Salon de la Libre Esthétique from 1906 to 1912. Examples of her art include a bust of Maurice Ravel which is exhibited at the composer Maurice Ravel Museum in the town of Montfort-L'Amaury outside of Paris, and a bronze of composer Claude Debussy which was exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay from October 2008 to February 2009. In 1906, Louise married French poet and writer Julien Ochsé. Following the death of her husband in 1936, she married her brother-in-law, Fernand Ochsé, a multi-talented decorator, theater set designer, composer and painter. In July of 1944 Louise and Ferdinand were discovered in hiding in Cannes and arrested by the Gestapo. After being sent to the Drancy internment camp, both were deported to Auschwitz on July 31, 1944 and subsequently murdered.
