Details:
Adrien-Etienne Gaudez (French, 1845-1902)
Adrien-Etienne Gaudez was a 19th century French sculptor born in Lyon, France. Gaudez worked almost exclusively in bronze, and he produced a wide array of sculptures, ranging from genre subjects to military and patriotic themes. His earlier work was mostly of a classical nature but in the latter part of his career he produced some sculpture that can be categorized as art nouveau. Gaudez entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1862 where he was a pupil of the noted sculptor Francois Jouffroy. He made his Salon debut two years later and continued to exhibit his work regularly in public exhibitions and in addition to numerous honors he won Gold Medals at the Exposition Universelle of 1889 and 1890. Gaudez's output was prolific, and his sculptural oeuvre encompassed a wide range of subjects, though the artist is best known for his orientalist compositions, such as the present bust of a bejeweled maiden.
