About the Item
A FINE AND RARE 'SEATED MONKEY' FIGURE,
BY EDOUARD MARCEL SANDOZ, FRENCH
He signed on the basis of Ed.M.Sandoz and Susse Fres. Paris, rare find in absolutely magnificent condition, totally original and exceptional, depicting a monkey hugging its tail with grim determination and a beautifully sculpted terrified expression on its face, designed in the purest cubist form, fine hollow casting by Cire Perdue by Susse Fres., Parisian foundry from 1920, finished in gilt and silver bronze, 18cm high.
The sculptor Edouard-Marcel Sandoz (1881 - 1971), was born in Basel, Switzerland, on March 21, 1881. After studying chemistry, Sandoz decided to dedicate himself to sculpture. He studied for 3 years at the School of Industrial Arts in Geneva and then moved to Paris, where he studied at the School of Fine Arts. He apprenticed with the sculptor Antonin Mercie and the painter Ferdinand Cormon. During World War I, due to a shortage of stone and bronze, Sandoz turned to porcelain for his sculptures and thus began his thirty-year association with the Haviland Limoge company. This collaboration produced many distinctive and highly stylized objects in the form of dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and even hedgehogs made of porcelain with brightly colored glazes. All of his sculptures are characterized by a geometric shape strongly influenced by Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. He was elected member of L'Academie de Beaux Arts and commander of L'Order de Legion d'Honneur. Sandoz's sculptures display a unique and lively personal style and place him firmly at the top of the 20th century Animaliers alongside Francois Pompon and Rembrandt Bugatti. He created only a few car mascots, mostly monkeys, and this is one of the rarest of all. Bibliography:

Edouard-Marcel Sandoz
Born in Basle, educated in Switzerland, Edouard Marcel Sandoz worked mainly in Paris, where he settled in 1908. A sculptor of men and of animals, he expressed himself in bronze, in ceramic, and through the direct cutting of stone. A painter of flowers and of landscapes, he was also an unflagging producer of sketches and water-colours. His motto : “ In art, one has to love everything : nature, science, one's fellow man… ” His defining characteristics : intellectual curiosity and technical discipline. His freedom of expression was grounded in mastery of classical and traditional techniques, his knowledge of materials, the constant search for new tools, the opening up of new artistic territories, and the study and profound understanding of his subject-matter. His very personal style, developed in the course of a long career, bears the imprint of the Art Nouveau period, in which he was a forceful presence.The predominance of animalism in his sculptural work incited him to found the French Society of Animalists in 1933. His commitment to the service of his fellow artists led him to preside over the Baron Taylor Association for more than thirty years, to found the Charitable Society for Children of Artists, and to contribute to the creation of the Cité des Arts in Paris. In recognition of his talents and achievements, France elected him a Member of the Academy of Fine Arts, and appointed him to the rank of Commander both of the Legion of Honour and of the Order of Arts and Letters.
