Alfred JANNIOT (1889-1969) Nude man study Pencil lead, autographed and signed lower left. 36.5 x 27.5 cm A student at the École des beaux-arts de Paris, Alfred Janniot belongs to the generation of "fire artists" connected with the Great War. Returning from the First World War, he won the First Prize of Rome for sculpture in 1919, which he shared with the sculptor Raymond Delamarre. He is a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Janniot is the author of an important monumental work. Friend of Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, of the painter Louis Bouquet, he took part in the 1925 Decorative Arts Exhibition, created the great stone bas-relief on the façade of the Colonial Museum, built for the 1931 Colonial Exhibition, and decorated with two great bas-reliefs the back of the Palais de Tokyo built in 1937, near the fountain. His work is also present in New York and Nice, where he created with the architect Roger Séassal the large Art Deco style war memorial on the Corniche and the fountain of the sun on Place Masséna. He also sculpted the bas-reliefs decorating the pediment of the Town Hall and the main post office in Puteaux in 1934, the fresco of the Great Staircase being entrusted to Louis Bouquet. In Bordeaux, in 1937, he created reliefs on the façade of the Bourse du Travail. He is also the author of the statue on the landing of the Prints and Photography Department of the French National Library (Wikipedia.org). Recoverable lot at 17 rue Drouot 75009 Paris
