Maurice Guiraud-Rivière - A Rare Art Deco bronze sculpture
"Girl with a Ball" France circa 1925, the young woman
dancing with an onyx ball held over her head, the bronze silver
enameled, mounted on an unusually shaped portoro marble base. This is the first example of this bronze I have seen, only
having seen it before in a period photograph in Bryan Catley's
book Art Deco and other Figures. Maurice Guiraud-Rivière
Born in Toulouse in 1881 (and the nephew of the sculptor Théodore
Rivière Guiraud-Rivière was a painter, designer and sculptor,
working with bronze (sometimes combined with ivory and marble),
terracotta and ceramic. He also designed many car mascots and
exhibited at Le Société des Artistes Français and Le Salon des
Humoristes during the 1920s and 30s. His "Le Comet" sculpture is
one of the most iconic bronzes of the Art Deco period.
