Marcel Gimond (1894–1961) Bust of the poet Stanislas Fumet, 1947. Bronze with a nuanced patina, signed on the left side, bearing the foundry mark É. Godard Height with base: 45 cm H. 29 cm Condition report: Resting on a wooden base A student of Aristide Maillol and Auguste Rodin, Marcel Gimond established himself as one of the great portraitists of 20th-century French sculpture, recognized for his pursuit of geometric precision and psychological truth. This work exemplifies his characteristic technique, favoring a dense, sensitive, and slightly textured modeling that catches the light, while preserving the model’s inner depth and solemnity. This piece is part of a series of busts of intellectual and artistic figures that punctuate the sculptor’s career.
