A prolific sculptor, Raymond Delamarre (1890-1986) expressed his quest for pure, elegant statuary through sixty years of creation, from medals to monumental works. Winner of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1919, he rose to prominence between the wars.

At the 1931 Colonial Exhibition, Delamarre made a name for himself by creating four Beatitudes and a Sacred Heart. The allegories of this artist of both the sacred and the secular - Paris, City of Light for the Brussels Universal Exhibition, Regional Arts and Monuments for the Normandie liner, Human Knowledge for the Palais de Chaillot, which still overlooks the Place du Trocadéro today - exalt French scientific and cultural knowledge. Committed to post-1945 reconstruction, he adorned the town hall in Grand-Couronne, the post office in Louviers and the post office cheque centre in Dijon with bas-reliefs. The sculptor also took on private commissions, of which Mowgli was the most striking, both for its originality and the richness of its composition.

This monograph retraces the career of this ardent creator of the Art Deco period.
