Francois Pompon (1855-1933)

Sculptor, Ceramist

François POMPON (1855-1933)(Saulieu 1855-1933)

At the age of 15 he entered the service of an undertaker in Dijon, where he learned the rudiments of sculpture. In the evenings he attended l'Ecole des Beaux Arts.
Five years later he left for Paris, where he also worked during the day at an undertaker's in Montparnasse and attended l'Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in the evenings.

During his training he met the sculptor of animal figures Pierre-Louis Rouillard, which may have been the source of inspiration for the work for which he would become famous much later. It was not until 1919 that his work attracted more attention. He sold a stone sculpture of a turtledove to the Musée de Luxembourg, and two years later three plaster animal figures at the Musée de Grenoble. It was not until he was 67 that his major breakthrough came with the exhibition of l 'Ours blanc in plaster at the Salon des artistes Français. Successful exhibitions followed in Tokyo and Osaka, and the now famous polar bear is made of marble. The almost 300 works that Pompon left to the French state at his death are eventually exhibited in the Musée des Beaux Arts in Dijon.
