About the Item

Planquette" (with the foundry stamp) France circa 1930 height 15 cm width 9 cm depth 9 cm Biography Gaston Broquet (1880-1947) was a French sculptor. He spent his childhood in Void where his parents hold a butchery. In 1901, he received the competition of the School of Decorative Arts of Paris in the modeling section. In Paris, he studied with sculptors Jean-Antoine Injalbert and Gabriel-Jules Thomas. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes français in 1912 and obtained a medal and a travel grant. He was also awarded by the Society of French Artists at the Salon of 1920 a silver medal in the section Sculpture and etching in medals and gemstones. During the First World War, he was a soldier and then stretcher on the front and wounded in 1915. In this trench experience, he found inspiration for his war memorials that made him famous. He also collaborated with the faience house of Quimper Henriot.
