1950 terracotta height: 58 cm (22 3/4 in. ) inscribed on base LOT NOTES Vadim Androusov was born in St. Petersburg in 1895, the grandson of the noted archaeologist Schliemann. Arriving in Paris in 1920, Androusov took classes at La Grande Chaumire, where Bourdelle was one of his professors. His sculptures, usually done in terracotta, plaster, wood, or stone, typically depicted female figures and characters from Classical antiquity. Androusov exhibited at both the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Independants. In addition to his sculptures, he is well known as a collaborator of the leading interior decorators of his day, designing pieces throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s along with other luminaries such as André Arbus and Jean Pascuad.
