Terracotta, Nude With Goats By Lucien Alliot

Original terracotta by Lucien ALLIOT 1877-1967

Born in Paris, his father was himself a sculptor, painter and also a manufacturer of objets d'art; he entered the Beaux-Arts de Paris and took classes with Louis-Ernest Barrias and Jules Coutan.
He took over the family business, selling and editing with a bronze and ceramic workshop. He made his debut at the 1896 Salon, and his themes were in perfect harmony with his time; classical at the beginning with subjects on maternity or childhood, then very fashionable, then Art Nouveau with "flower-women".
In 1907, he received a travel grant that allowed him to visit Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. At the beginning of the 1920s, he immersed himself in the Art Deco style and strongly stylized his sculpture and also realized chryselephantines. Later, as the 1937 International Exhibition approached, he joined the neo-classical movement which was all the rage at that time. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français
