patinated bronze, alabaster, signed in the bronze ALBERT CHEURET 41cm diameter, 64cm high Note: Albert Cheuret was born in 1884 in Paris. He studied sculpture with Jacques Perrin, a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (fine arts school), and with Georges Lemaire. The artist began his career in 1907 and set up his studio at 11 Avenue Franco-Russe, near the Champ de Mars. Thereafter he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, part of a milieu that included Auguste Rodin, Antoine Bourdelle, and Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. After the First World War, Cheuret resumed his practice and secured several high-level commissions. His work is imbued with the clean lines of the Art Deco period and also bears the influence of images which began to appear after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, and the new language which it introduced into Western arts and crafts. At the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1925, Albert Cheuret rented a stall along the Alexandre III bridge and presented his famous light fixtures in bronze and alabaster, his favourite materials.
