Henri Marchand (sculptor)

Henri Marchand (1908-2002) was a French sculptor, primarily known for his works in bronze and stone. He was born in Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort, France, and studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Marchand's artistic style often involved figurative representations, particularly of the human form, imbued with a sense of classical balance and proportion while incorporating elements of modernism. He frequently exhibited his sculptures in France and internationally, gaining recognition for his technical skill and sensitive interpretations of his subjects. While not considered among the most widely celebrated sculptors of the 20th century, his works can be found in various public and private collections, demonstrating a consistent and dedicated practice spanning several decades.
