Marcel André Bouraine (1886-1948) is a French sculptor born in Pontoise . He studied sculpture under the direction of Joseph-Alexandre Falguière. Captured by the Germans during the First World War, he was interned in Switzerland. Back in Paris, he exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries in 1922. After his beginnings still steeped in academicism, Bouraine revealed himself in the 1925s as one of the most representative sculptors of Art Deco. Bouraine is a member of the Society of French Artists and participates in the Salon d'Automne. In 1928, he collaborated with Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, who commissioned several sculptures, as well as with his friend Pierre Le Faguays. He also exhibited two monumental sculptures at the Universal Exhibition of 1937 in Paris.
