Lucien Gilbert
Lucien Gibert Bronze Statue 'The Archer' French Art Deco Sculpture

1930s

About the Item

Master sculptor Lucien Gilbert's famous “The Archer” sculpture embraces the finest in French bronze detailing of the period. The size, quality, and weight of this piece are impressive. The verdigris patina has a unique character, and the textured finish helps to create a depth and presence not typically seen in these typical muscular hunting figures inspired by so many European sculptors of this period. The shape and tension help to portray the intensity of the moment as we see the seriousness of the hunter preparing to shoot his bow. Lucien Gibert 1904-1988 Graduated from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts. He worked as an independent artist under the guidance of Despiau while working with less conventional art. He liked to work with stone or marble in direct carving. He created many monuments and was the author of more than two hundred medals for the Monnaie de Paris, where he was the director. His works are in the Museums of Modern Art in the City of Paris and twenty museums in France and the World. His works are in many private collections. He was an officer of the Legion of Honor and an officer in the National Order of Merit. He is buried in the 61st division, and his burial is decorated with the artist's work.

    By Lucien Alliot
    Located in Oakland, CA
    Lucien Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930. The brown patina on a marble base signed on the bronze L Alliot and stamped bronze on the deer. This particular piece has exceptional rhythm where the two gazelles interplay in a movement depicting leaping over the hills or water—a very three-dimensional treatment showing the movement of the animals. Lucien Charles Eduoard Alliot (1877-1967), the sculptor, was born in 1877 Paris, France. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, was a member and the gold medal in 1920, out of competition, and was a member of the sculpture jury from 1934 to 1939. Alliot was well known for his figurative sculptures, exhibited at the Salon de Paris for many years. He received a third-place award in 1907 (which included funds for travel expenses) and a first-place award l in 1920. After he declared himself out of the artistic competition, he became a jury member at the Salon evaluating sculptural works from 1934 to 1939. Alliot created several allegorical groups, La Paix in 1939, and several religious illustrations: Sacré Cœur in 1924, La Vierge Marie...
