Cast Bronze Figure by Georges Oudot “Femme Debout Au Drape"

About the Item

this work by famed Sculpture and Painter Georges Oudot was cast circa 1955 and bears his signature and the mark EA indicating its an artist proof, the foundry stamp of Susse Fondeur Paris. Entitled “Femme Debout au Drape” the work is dynamic and powerful as are almost all of the artist's figural works in bronze. The figure is cast and retains its original patina in a dark black-green. The artist's hand and the textural nature of his work are clearly evident in this piece. He was born in France in 1928 in Chaumont in the Haute-Mare. He attended the Besancon School of Fine Arts then in 1946 joined the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and studied under such artists as Marcel Gimond and Alfred Jannot. Throughout his career, he was awarded many major medals from the French salons and government bodies. His works are in over 20 important museum collections and countless major private collections the world over. Of note as well is his foundry of choice the Susse works, this company begun in 1758 is the oldest foundry still working in Paris and has been instrumental throughout its time as a leader in the art of casting bronze. During the reign of Napoleon III the workshop was associated with the grand ideals put forth through the promotion of French arts and in particular sculpture. The firm was called the Ambassadors of the French Decorative Arts and continued to work with the finest sculptures of the day. Of particular note is that the company had a major resurgence of importance after the second world war based on relationships with artists like Oudot. In the firm's achieved photos this work is shown in a number of photos being finished. The foundry also worked closely in the casting for the Musee Rodin the great works of “The Burghers of Calais, Balzac, and The Bronze Age”.Condition Disclosure: While we do our best to carefully inspect and give a full report on the condition of any item we sell, pointing out any repairs or alterations that may have been done to the best of our knowledge, as is the case with any antique and vintage item, there is a possibility that at some point in the life of the piece that there may have been damaged which has been professionally repaired and as such a repair undetectable it is therefore impossible for us to disclose... we recommend that you also read and agree to the 1st dibs user agreement, particularly sections 9,13,15,18,19 and 27
