Biography:
Marcel André BOURAINE 1886 / 1948
Sculptor born in Pontoise working in the 20th century. French school. He has exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, the Salon d'Automne and that of the Tuileries since 1922. He studied sculpture under the direction of Joseph-Alexandre Falguière. Captured by the Germans during the First World War, he was interned in Switzerland.
Returning to Paris, he exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries in 1922. After beginnings still steeped in academicism, Bouraine revealed himself in 1925 as one of the most representative sculptors of Art Deco. Bouraine is a member of the Society of French Artists and participates in the Salon d'Automne. In 1928 he collaborated with Gabriel Argy-Rousseau who commissioned several sculptures from him, as well as sometimes with his friend Pierre Le Faguays.
He also exhibited two monumental sculptures at the 1937 Universal Exhibition in Paris. Source Bénézit and Pierre Kjellberg, Dictionary of sculptors: bronzes of the 19th century, Éditions de l'Amateur, 1997.
