Aimée Bianchi, the artist name of Émilie Ducruet, was a sculptor born in Limoges in 1878. A close friend of the composer, Georges Migot, she worked for a time with the sculptor Alphonse Saladin. Regularly mentioned in the art press in the 1920s and 1930s, her works were admired for their eurythmic sense, and for their play of light and shade. Cement as a material for sculpture was relatively new in the 1920s when many sculptors started to use it.
