Gaston LE BOURGEOIS (1880-1956) for the Manufacture Nationale de SEVRES. Large glazed stoneware ostrich, garden sculpture. It is shown reclining with its head curved back on a rectangular base. Circa 1930, recessed marks on the back of the base in a cartouche S / SEVRES / MANUFACTURE / NATIONALE / France / d, and recessed RR mark perhaps for Lucien Roncière, active at the Manufacture from 1928 to 1944 as a stoneware molder. (two restored corners, small chips and shots). Dimensions: 50 x 104 x 41 cm. Notes : This model was edited by the Manufacture de Sèvres after a model created by Gaston Le Bourgeois for the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts décoratifs et industriels modernes. It was offered at a price of 3,000 francs, of which Le Bourgeois received 25% (Cf. letter from the Manufacture to Le Bourgeois dated September 11, 1925, AMNS U10/7, L.II). It is also interesting to note in the correspondence between the Manufacture de Sèvres and the artist, a letter from the latter apologizing to Gaston Le Bourgeois for having forgotten to affix the artist's mark to the first productions (AMNS dossier Gaston Le Bourgeois, August 24, 1933). The 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris was a striking illustration of the Art Deco style in architecture, but also in other disciplines. In this context, two pavilions for the Manufacture de Sèvres were created on the esplanade des Invalides, linked by a garden designed by Henri Rapin and featuring two versions of ostriches in stoneware, with very pure lines, created by the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres to a design by Gaston Le Bourgeois, and facing two rams in the same material on either side of a basin with a fountain by Henri Bouchard. This pavilion, which attracted a great deal of attention at the time, prompted the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres to produce other prints of the ostriches. However, given the complexity of producing them in this material and in these dimensions, very few were made between 1926 and the 1930s. For a reproduction of a preparatory drawing of one of these ostriches, see Paul Géraldy, 'L'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes', L'Illustration, April 1925, 83rd year, p.381. For a photograph showing a similar model in front of the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres pavilion, see by Paul Léon and Fernand David, Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes, Paris 1925: rapport général, section artistique et technique, Paris, 1925-1932, volume 11 (Rue et jardin), plate LXVII.
