French Art Deco Bust of Jean Mermoz, Aviator - Cast in Bronze by Lucien Gibert
About the Item
This striking profile, classically heroic, yet distinctly French, courageous and reserved, belongs to the famed early French aviator Jean Mermoz. A French Air Force and commercial pilot, friend and icon to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Mermoz was known for skilled and daring flights across Europe, Africa and South America before his disappearance during a flight across the South Atlantic in 1936. A symbol of pioneering French character, Mermoz was the perfect subject for this dramatic bronze bust by master sculptor Lucien Gibert, a modern ideal with a powerful presence and and stirring, poised interiority that exhibits Gibert’s key influences in Aristide Maillol and Charles Despiau.

Lucien Gibert
Lucien Gibert was born in 1904. He studied under his father, a cabinetmaker and also at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Jean Boucher. Gibert started exhibiting at the Salon des Independants in 1923 under the guidance of Charles Despiau. His preference was for unconventional art, often working with stone and marble directly. He received numerous public commissions, including two monumental sculptures for the Charléty Stadium in Paris, as well as 200 medals for the Monnaie de Paris.
