Bibliography : Marcello Mascherini (1906-1983) was an Italian sculptor. He first trained in ornamental sculpture in Trieste. From 1925, he exhibited at the "Artistic Circle" of Trieste, at the Roman Quadriennales and at the Milan Triennales. In 1932 he won the Gold Medal at the VI Mostra regionale giuliana in Trieste. Since 1934, Mascherini has participated in eleven editions of the Venice International Biennale. He presented a personal exhibition there twice, in 1954 and 1962. At the 1938 edition, Marcello Mascherini was hailed as the revelation of young Italian sculpture. He won the First Prize for sculpture at the XXV Venice Biennale in 1950, then the First Prize "Paris" in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Among his many trips, he came to Paris, and exhibited in 1953 at the Drouant-David gallery, then located at 52 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Ossip Zadkine wrote the introduction to the exhibition catalog on this occasion. Attached to figuration, Mascherini developed stylized figures with fluid and angular lines in the 1950s which contributed to his fame.

Torso of a Woman
Located in PARIS, FR
Torso of a Woman by Marcel GIMOND (1894-1961) Avery fine nuanced brown chamotte sandstone sculpture raised on a dark grey marble base signed on the arm with the monogram "MG" for Marcel Gimond inscribed with the monogram "GS" for Georges Serré stamped by the galerie Rouard France 1927 total height 50 cm width 20,5 cm depth 20 cm After a model by Marcel Gimond, this bust was made in 1927 by Georges Serré at the Manufacture de Sèvres, sold exclusively by the Rouard Gallery, and exhibited the same year at the Paris Fall Fair (Salon d'Automne). Reproduced in "Sculpteurs nouveaux, Marcel Gimond", Paul Fierens, Nrf, 1930, cover. Biographies : Marcel Gimond (1894-1961) was a French sculptor. He studied in Lyon, then at the School of Fine Arts in Lyon where he graduated in 1917. Finally he arrived in Paris the same year and settled in Marly-Le-Roi. Student of Aristide Maillol, he also met Raoul Dufy and Auguste Renoir. Gimond worked with Maillol until 1920, and left him to settle in Paris and regain his independence. He then moved into Renoir's former studio, made available by Jean Renoir. He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne in 1922. In 1940, Gimond left Paris to settle in the South zone, in Lyon, then in Aix en Provence; He spent his summers at Saint-Félicien, at the house of poet Charles Forot. At the Liberation, in 1944, he returned to Paris and his workshop rue Ordener, he left only a few months before his death. From 1946 to 1960, he directed a workshop at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Marcel Gimond was known for his busts of political and artistic personalities. He also owed two bas-reliefs located in the lobby of the newspaper "L'Humanité", in tribute to Marcel Cachin and Gabriel Péri. Georges Serré (1889-1956) was a French ceramist. He worked at the Sèvres factory until 1914, when he was mobilized to go to war. He then went to Indochina where he taught ceramics at the art school of Bien-hoa for five years. On his return to France, he moved to Sèvres, rue Brongniart, but encountered difficulties in producing his works, until the intervention of the ceramist Emile Decoeur who obtained him help to build an oven for firing his ceramics. It was Georges Rouard and his gallery located on avenue de l'Opéra in Paris, who had noticed him at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts of 1925, which presented him during his "exhibitions of contemporary French artisans". Georges Serré's taste for these sandstones came to him, among other things, from Khmer sculptures...
