Marcel DAMBOISE (1903-1992) - Lot 253
Marcel DAMBOISE (1903-1992) Medallion of Professor Pierre-Paul Grassé, 1978-1985 Studio plaster Signed and dated (under the neck): Damboise 1978 Inscription (on the edge, in relief): PIERRE-PAUL GRASSE 1895-1985 D. 26 cm Inv. MD-S-134-00e Provenance: Artist's studio, by descent Marcel Damboise probably met Professor Pierre-Paul Grassé (1895-1985) through his sculptor friends from the Académie, during an event at the Institut. Grassé, an eminent zoologist, has been an academician since 1948. Marcel Damboise executed his portrait in medallion and bust: a bronze proof of the bust is probably in the scientist's family. For the medallion presented here, the sculptor certainly took the medallion made at the end of the 1970s at the time of his friend's death in 1985, adding his dates of birth and death.
