About Charles Lemanceau (1905–1980):
Born in Paris, Lemanceau received the Grand Prix de la Ville de Paris and trained at École Estienne, École Boulle, and the École des Arts Appliqués. Early in his career, he worked for Primavera, the design studio of Printemps department store, and exhibited at the Salon d’Automne in 1925 alongside notable contemporaries such as Eugène Printz, Louis Sognot, Jean Dunand, Fernand Léger, and Le Corbusier.
Lemanceau later collaborated with Maurice Dufrêne, Sainte-Radegonde, and continued creating for Saint-Clément and Dim into the 1930s. Renowned for his animalier sculptures, Lemanceau is considered one of the leading sculptors of the French Art Deco era.
