Henri Gaudier Brzeska Biography
(b st jean de braye, nr orléans, 4 oct 1891; d neuville-saint-vaast, france, 5 june 1915). french sculptor and draughtsman. he began sculpting in paris c . 1910, taking as his model auguste rodin rather than the avant-garde artists of his own generation. when he moved to london in january 1911, having previously visited england on a scholarship in 1906 and again in 1908, his knowledge of contemporary developments in sculpture was slight. he was accompanied by sophie brzeska, whose surname he appended to his own. a crucial meeting with jacob epstein, when the tomb of oscar wilde (1912; paris, père-lachaise cemetery) was still in his studio, strengthened gaudier-brzeska’s determination to pursue a more experimental direction. he delighted in pitting himself against the cultures that he admired during visits to the british museum, and his work ranged from carefully carved classical torsos to deliberately barbaric painted masks.
