Gilbert Privat (1892-1969) Triton 2 Terracotta Signed on the back "Gilbert Privat 35.5 x 10.5 x 16 cm (with base) Slight restoration Gilbert Privat, son of a woodcarver, was born in Toulouse. He attended the Beaux-Arts in his native city, before continuing his training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1910, where he studied under Jules Coutan. From 1920, he exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, presenting works on a variety of subjects: childhood, religious art, allegories... and received several commissions for war memorials. He also created works for the publishing industry, notably in wood for D.I.M. and in cookie for the Manufacture de Sèvres. At the 1937 Exposition Universelle, he created several bas-reliefs for the pontifical pavilion, including Figure (in mahogany); Flore; Diane à la biche (in stone). From the 1920s onwards, he distinguished himself by creating numerous bas-reliefs in wood, stone or slate, both small-scale and intended to adorn facades, as in Bordeaux and Paris. The Musée des Beaux-Arts (Bordeaux), the Musée des Années Trente (Boulogne-Billancourt), the Musée de la Piscine (Roubaix) and the Musée Despiau-Wlérick (Mont-de-Marsan) hold several of his works.
