MUSEE ANDRE DELUOL

André Deluol, born in 1909 in Valence in the Drôme and died in Saint-Michel-en-L'Herm in 2003 was a distinguised sculptor loyal to the "école française" (Maillol, Despiau...). "With the birth of contemporary art, plastic beauty was neglected," he noted. That is why his inspiration was the human body. "Why would we seek beauty elsewhere?" he liked to say. He created works commissioned by the State and the private sector. His sculptures can be admired in several cities in France. With a steady hand, he cut his works directly from stone, marble or wood and made statuettes out of glass paste (Daum).
