Louis Henri Nicot was a French sculptor born in Rennes on 12 February 1878 and who died In Paris 1944. ==Biography== Louis-Henri Nicot was born in Rennes on 12 February 1878. His father was a builder. He attended the Rennes École des Murs and in 1886 was enrolled at the Lycée de Rennes, He then joined the École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes and was there for three years. His schooling was interrupted in 1899 when he was called up for military service and joined the 41st Infantry regiment as a "soldat de 2e classe". However being stationed at the Rennes' St Georges barracks meant that he could continue to call in at the École des Beaux-Arts. In November 1902 his term of service over, he was put on the reserve list. He left the army with the rank of sergeant. He now applied to join the Ếcole nationale des Beaux-arts in Paris. His time at the Rennes art school had been a great success and he had studied alongside such Breton sculptors as Pierre Lenoir, Éloi Emile Robert, Émile Jean Armel Beaufils, Emmanuel Guérin, Francis Renaud (sculptor), Albert Bourget and Jean Boucher (artist).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Academic paper on Nicot by Jerome Dore )〕 He set off for Paris in April 1899 but was not immediately accepted by the Ếcole nationale des Beaux-Arts and received only "temporary" status in November 1900, November 1901 and May 1902. Once a permanent student at the school, he tried unsuccessfully for the "Prix de Rome" in 1906 and 1908 but did get third prize in the school's "trois-arts" competition and received several other medals and prizes. The Ếcole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris hold ex-pupils works in their archives and the collection includes a 1906 Nicot design which was his entry for the "Figure dessinée d'après l'antique" competition (Bridan prize) held each year by the school. His work "Fauna Borghèse" won the second prize.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bridan prize 1906 )〕 On 14 September 1909, one year after leaving the Ếcole des Beaux-arts, he married Jeanne-marie Le gallais at the mairie of Paris' 15e arrondissement and the birth of daughters Monique in 1912 and Yves in 1914 increased the need for Nicot to earn money from his sculpture and during the prewar years he executed many sculptural decorations for buildings, more often than not carving directly into the stone "in situ", and he executed such work in the Rue Frémiet in Passy and the Paris streets of Rue des Eaux, la Rue Renouard, la Rue Fournier, the Avenue Choisy and Avenue Émile-Zola. Most of the decoration involved flowers or animals. He also worked on the decoration of Reims's Palais de justice and the Hôtels de ville of Moÿ-de-l'Aisne and Pont-Sainte-Maxence and the churches of Moÿ-de-l'Aisne and Woirel as well as the "Salle d’honneur" at the Château de Rocheux.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pont Sainte Maxence town hall )〕 Nicot received his mobilization papers on 2 August 1914 and joined the 2nd Aviation group. He worked as a photographer serving in the General Reserve and in June 1915 was part of F40 squadron. His health began to deteriorate and he suffered from a chronique onset of kidney stones and in May 1917 was hospitalised in Bar-le-Duc, then Charolles and Mâcon. Finally in April 1918 he was back home.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Henri Nicot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
