IS THIS A ANDRE BOURGAULT CARVING?
Recently on a car boot sale I bought a small wooden figurine. It looks similar to Andre Bourgault sculptures.
Can anyone help to identify the artist?
Second one is a metal sculpture of a gavroche? Some markings at the back but I was not able to find the answer.
Please help.
Gilles Bourgault. ‘Gils’ (1937-2005) Sculptor. Son of Jean-Julien Bourgault
This is the one I was referring to,, also called Gil or Gils !! I have no idea about Canadian folk artists !! I do know that sculptors often make a small study of a work before doing a large one !! Helps prevent accidents and wasted bronze or whatever the work was made in !! Its like a pattern for them to follow !!
Hi,
Thank you very much for that information. I thought it was one of the brothers. Very similar work to his father. It is difficult to tell the difference and probably that is why his initials.
Thank you very much once again.
