Edouard Marcel Sandoz was a Swiss animalier sculptor. His best known works are depictions of foxes, rabbits, and cats, in bronze, ceramic, and stone. Though he also produced watercolors of landscapes and flowers, his primary occupation led him to found the French Society of Animalists in 1933. “In art, one has to love everything: nature, science, one's fellow man,” the artist said. Born on March 21, 1881 in Basel, Switzerland, he was encouraged to pursue his artistic talents by his parents. In 1908, he moved to Paris to study art and remained there for much of his life. Sandoz’s long and successful career was marked by his election to the Academy of Fine Arts and bestowment of the title of Commander in the Order of Arts and Letters. The artist died on March 20, 1971 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
During the First World War, he turned to ceramics and designed models for the porcelain manufactories Haviland & Co. (Limoges), Sèvres and Langenthal. He made numerous small figures, some in Art Nouveau, others borrowed from Cubism, others as Art Deco statuettes. His metal figures were mostly handcrafted by the Susse Frères foundry.

Edouard-Marcel Sandoz
Born in Basle, educated in Switzerland, Edouard Marcel Sandoz worked mainly in Paris, where he settled in 1908. A sculptor of men and of animals, he expressed himself in bronze, in ceramic, and through the direct cutting of stone. A painter of flowers and of landscapes, he was also an unflagging producer of sketches and water-colours. His motto : “ In art, one has to love everything : nature, science, one's fellow man… ” His defining characteristics : intellectual curiosity and technical discipline. His freedom of expression was grounded in mastery of classical and traditional techniques, his knowledge of materials, the constant search for new tools, the opening up of new artistic territories, and the study and profound understanding of his subject-matter. His very personal style, developed in the course of a long career, bears the imprint of the Art Nouveau period, in which he was a forceful presence.The predominance of animalism in his sculptural work incited him to found the French Society of Animalists in 1933. His commitment to the service of his fellow artists led him to preside over the Baron Taylor Association for more than thirty years, to found the Charitable Society for Children of Artists, and to contribute to the creation of the Cité des Arts in Paris. In recognition of his talents and achievements, France elected him a Member of the Academy of Fine Arts, and appointed him to the rank of Commander both of the Legion of Honour and of the Order of Arts and Letters.
