Rochard, French Art Deco Bronze Bird C1925

An original French art deco cold painted bronze sculpture of a bird with chicks by famous French artist Irenee Jean de Roncourt (French, 1906 - 1984). c1920-30.

Irénée René Rochard (French, 1906 ~ 1984) – born in Villefranche sur Saône in 1906, Rochard chose the course of an artist’s life and turned to animal sculpture in order “to pay tribute to animals”. On leaving the École des Beaux-Arts at the age of 22, he won first prize for a life-size panther sculpture and many other prizes and awards followed throughout his career. In the 1920’s Rochard frequently met with other animal sculptors, including François Pompon and Edouard Sandoz. He became adept at giving his subjects a fluid realism that brought out their personality, their gentleness or their fierceness. He created hundreds of animals with such a delicacy that we feel we are witnessing a frozen moment in time.

Mounted on a portoro marble plinth.

Inscribed 'Rochard' on top surface of plinth.
