About the Item

Signed and numbered on base. Limited Edition: 7/7 Dimensions: Width: 12 inches Height: 6.75 inches Depth: 7 inches Jacques Loutchansky (French, 1876 – 1978) was born in Ukraine and studied at the Odessa drawing school. In 1903, he moved to Paris and took French citizenship. He continued his education at the French National School of Fine Arts (1910s), in the sculpture workshop of A. Mercier. Young artist worked in the field of easel and monumental sculpture: creating heads, figures, genre scenes, as well as animalistic sculptures of wood, terracotta, bronze and marble. In his works, he adhered to strict classical forms; from time to time resorting to styling his creations in the spirit of Oriental plastics and the grotesque. Loutchansky regularly exhibited in the Paris Salons - Independent (from 1907), Tuileries (from 1923), Autumn (from 1936); and participated in exhibitions - Russian art in London (1921), the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Engravers in London (1921, 1922), the group "Numbers" at the "L?Epoque" gallery in Paris (1931). In 1928, four works ("My Shopkeeper", "Man's Head", "Head of a Young Girl" - 2 versions) were presented in the Russian section of the "Contemporary French Art" exhibition in Moscow. Jacques Loutchansky taught in his own workshop; among his students were M. Kellery, E. Frankel (Rothschild), E. Bernkopf and other renown artists. In 1931-1932, he lived in New York City and arranged a number of solo exhibitions in his workshop. In June 1938, Loutchansky held a retrospective exhibition in Paris’ Pierre Gallery. In 1945 and 1947, the sculptor’s works were featured at the exhibitions, organized by the France-USSR Committee of the 14th District of Paris. In 1949, he settled in Givat Brenner Kibbutz, Israel; and created a series of Israeli public figures portraits, such as Z. Shahar, B. Katsnelson, T. Herzl and others. Among the artist’s outstanding works of that period, there is an allegorical relief, ‘The Symphony of Life’, 1959. Jacques Loutchansky was the winner of the Dizengoff Prize for sculpture and painting (1976). In 1976, in honor of the artist’s 100th birthday anniversary, a retrospective exhibition was held in Jerusalem; and a commemorative album ‘Sculptures by J. Loutchansky’ was published by Givat-Brenner, with foreword by the leading art historians, E. Kolb and J. Kass. Jacques Loutchansky works are in many museum collections around the world - in Paris, Basel, Bremen, Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and Moscow.
