From 1924 to 1928, Irénée Rochard studied at the Beaux-Arts and Decorative Arts schools, and from 1938 he was a member of the Société nationale des beaux-arts. Between the wars, he was close to other animal sculptors, such as François Pompon and Édouard-Marcel Sandoz. He sculpted hundreds of animals, horses, monkeys, gazelles, panthers, bear cubs, ducks, bison, pelicans, dromedaries, dogs and others in the Art Deco style. He used ceramics, wood, granite and marble, but especially bronze. He created some sculptures with Ugo Cipriani, often signed Menneville and Rochard; variations on the theme of a woman with one or more dogs, the female figures being by Menneville (Ugo Cipriani) and the dogs by himself. The city of Paris purchased some of his works (1937, 1950, 1954, 1965, 1968), as did the city of New York in 1938.
