RAOUL LAMOURDEDIEU (1877-1953). Art Decò Figure. Bronze. Size: 56 x 29 cm. Trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, Raoul Lamourdedieu continued his studies in Paris. In 1900, he took part, for the first time, in the sculpted decoration of the Grand-Palais in Paris, influenced by Auguste Rodin, Lamourdedieu's work became a reconciliation of the style of Antoine Bourdelle and Aristide Maillol, in the lineage of the figurative tradition. His work is now represented in many French institutions. Highly decorative and original, the piece continues the characteristics of the Art Deco style, a movement which emerged in 1920 and whose influence continued until the middle of the 20th century in some countries. It sought to renew all disciplines, defending the value of the technological progress of the time and the new sciences of the day. In this case, the material is traditional, which was not unusual for this style, although it was more common to use materials provided by the new technologies of the time. Another of his sources of inspiration were the early avant-garde movements. Modernity can be seen, once again, in the young woman's bold and daring posture.
