Excerpt: Gilbert Privat was the son and student of a wood sculptor. He studied at the art academies in his hometown of Toulouse and then in Paris, and studied under Jules Félix Coutan, amongst others. After serving in World War I, he did not return to Paris until 1919, where he exhibited in various salons and won the second Rome Prize just two years later. This led to commissions for monuments and later for works of art for public buildings, churches and parks. Female figures, often in allegories and mythological representations, were his preferred motif. The style is classic with traces of Art Deco. In contrast, his drawings and pictures often show cheerful genre scenes. During World War II, Privat lived near Lourdes, then again in Paris until he finally settled in Soulac-sur-Mer on the Atlantic coast, where he died of bone cancer...(Submitted on April 30, 2024.)
