About the Item
The cats of the sculptor Edouard-Marcel Sandoz
Edouard-Marcel Sandoz, born in Basel (Switzerland) on March 21, 1881, was the son of Marcel
Sandoz, founder of the chemical company and, later, the pharmaceutical company Sandoz. After studying Chemistry for three years at the School of Industrial Arts in Geneva, he moved to Paris in 1904 and entered the School of Fine Arts. His teachers were the sculptor Antonin Mercié and the painter Fernand Cormon, among others. He married Adèle Passavant in 1909 and the couple soon settled in the Montparnasse district. He exhibited in numerous salons, which contributed to giving him notoriety.
His hobbies were very diverse: painting, decoration, engineering, physics, chemistry (he was mainly interested in dyes) and inventions (a system of light projections for the theater is owed to him), but his great passion was sculpture and especially , that of animals. On one occasion he said: "Art should be interested in love, nature and science."

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.
