About the Item

African Dancer by Gaston Broquet (1880-1947) Bronze with brown patina nuanced cast by Susse France circa 1920 Height 15 cm Biography Gaston Broquet (1880-1947) is a French sculptor. He spent his childhood in Void where his parents hold a butchery. In 1901, he received the competition of the School of Decorative Arts of Paris in the modeling section. In Paris, he studied with sculptors Jean-Antoine Injalbert and Gabriel-Jules Thomas. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes français in 1912 and obtained a medal and a travel grant. He is also awarded by the Society of French Artists at the Salon of 1920 a silver medal in the section Sculpture and etching in medals and gemstones. During the First World War, he was a soldier and then stretcher on the front and wounded in 1915. In this trench experience, he will find inspiration for his war memorials that made him famous. He also collaborates with the faience house of Quimper Henriot.
