About the Item

The Strength An Art Deco patinated bronze group by Maurice Guiraud-Rivière (1881-1947) Representing three men in full effort pulling a rope, resting on an oblong naturalistic base Signed Guiraud.Riviere circa 1930 Born in 1881, Jean Achille Maurice Guiraud, is a French designer, painter and sculptor. A native of Toulouse and nephew of the sculptor Théodore Rivière, Maurice Guiraud-Rivière was a student at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he studied under the direction of Antonin Mercié, also his uncle's master. Guiraud-Rivière exhibited in Paris, at the Salon of French Artists from 1907. He gained notoriety in particular for his female subjects sculpted in the Art Deco style, and whose bronze prints were mainly published by the famous Etling house. A “modern” artist, he also creates numerous subjects with sport, aviation or automobile themes, cars for which he creates the coveted mascots with great success. Guiraud-Rivière was also an author of models for the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres be-tween 1911 and 1923. He was also the author of humorous drawings and orientalist-inspired watercolors painted during a trip to Morocco in 1933. Back from Morocco, he creates posters for the Chemins de fer du Maroc and Air France
