Maurice Prost Furniture
Maurice Prost was born on March 13, 1894, in Paris and he died in 1967. He exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français where he obtained an honorable mention in 1922, a silver medal in 1936 and a gold medal in 1963. He received the Legion of Honor in 1933. While the fate has just hit him (his arm was amputated the first months of the 1914s war), he abandoned his craft jewelry carver and opted for his passion: animal sculpture. He was a sculptor in direct carving, the hardest of the crafts. This choice was surprising considering his disability but revealed a will and a courage that characterized him throughout his life. From 1919 to 1945, Prost realized most of his creations. As an artist he was recognized by the public, by the critics and by his peers, and he received the highest distinctions during his career. He left a work illustrates one of the richest eras of the 20th century with great diversity.

Art Deco “Panther Walking” French Bronze Sculpture by Maurice Prost & S. Freres

Located in Shippensburg, PA
Panther Walking" by Maurice Prost (FRENCH, 1894-1967)
Patinated bronze; signed "M. Prost" & "Susse Fres Editeurs Paris" to base; exhibited 1928
Item # 009PAC15W
A powerful and sleek model of a stalking black panther, this sculpture captures the essence of the Art Deco spirit with it’s mechanized minimalism and proportions.
A trained animalier, Maurice Prost was skilled at capturing technical realism while depicting his subjects with utmost austerity - Payne’s "Animals in Bronze” showcases a resting panther by Prost that perfectly juxtaposes this form, its perfect realism and inordinate detailing lending credibility to springboard into minimalism.
The present model is one of his most famous works, being finished in a nearly matte black patina and joined through the original Belgian black marble base. The edges of the stone are lightly ground to only hint at naturalism, the pure and gorgeous black marble stone cut with a slight taper in depth and a more evident height tapering. It is incised in the typical script on the base "M. PROST" and "SUSSE FRES EDITEURS PARIS".
