Irénée René Rochard (French, 1906 ~ 1984) – born in Villefranche sur Saône in 1906,
Irénée René Rochard was a renowned French sculptor known for his elegant and graceful Art Deco creations. He was born on July 10, 1906, in Villefranche-sur-Saône, France.

His work often depicted the fluidity and sensuality of the human body, exuding a timeless appeal that transcended the passing trends of the time.
Throughout his career, Rochard exhibited his works in prestigious art salons and galleries, gaining recognition and acclaim for his artistic prowess. He became well-known for his innovative approach to sculpture and for embracing the modern aesthetic of the Art Deco movement and he frequently met with other animal sculptors, including François Pompon and Edouard Sandoz.
Today, Irénée René Rochard's legacy endures through his timeless bronze sculptures, which continue to be prized by collectors and art connoisseurs around the world. His contributions to the Art Deco movement have left an indelible mark on the world of sculpture, and his elegant creations serve as a testament to his artistic vision and talent. Rochard passed away, leaving behind a rich artistic heritage that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
