René Iché (21 January 1897 – 23 December 1954) was a 20th-century French sculptor. ==Life and work== René Iché was born in Sallèles-d'Aude, France. He fought in World War I, where he was injured and gassed. After the war, graduated in law, he changed his life and studied sculpture with Antoine Bourdelle and architecture with Auguste Perret. In 1927, his pacific monument of Ouveillan (a Monumental Modern portic in the South of France) was very appreciated. During his first solo exhibition, at the art dealer Léopold Zborowski in 1931, two sculptures were acquired by the Musée national d'art moderne in Paris (now in the Centre Pompidou) and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.〔 *Robert Maillard, ''Dictionary of Modern Sculpture'', 1962.

Page 282.〕 Iché was a very good friend of Max Jacob, close to Guillaume Apollinaire, Picasso, Jacques Lipchitz, Zadkine and a childhood friend of Joe Bousquet. He sculpted the faces of André Breton,〔Lyford Amy, Surrealist masculinities, Ed. University Presses Of California, Columbia And Princeton (United States), 2007.〕 Paul Éluard and Federico García Lorca. In his studio of Montparnasse, in 1937, he executed a ''Guernica'' sculpture on the day (27 April 1937) of the announcement of this event on the radio station and didn't wish to exhibit before. He was amongst one of the 200 pioneers of the French Resistance - he was in the Groupe du musée de l'Homme - during the summer of 1940 and participated at the Degenerate art exhibitions. He sculpted so ''La Déchirée'' (''The Torn''), which was brought to London and given to General Charles de Gaulle, became one of the symbols of the French Resistance.〔 〔 He participated at the Venice Biennale in 1948 with ''Le Couple'' (Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris) and received the ''Grand Prix de Sculpture'' in 1953 for ''Melpomène 36''. He was chosen to sculpt ''the Apollinaire Monument'' in Paris〔Peter Read, Picasso and Apollinaire. Ed. University Presses Of California, Columbia And Princeton (United States), April 2008.〕 and an ''Auschwitz' Memorial'' in Poland, but both projects were interrupted by his premature death in Paris. Iché's work is close to surrealism and like the sculptors Alberto Giacometti and Germaine Richier inherits an aesthetic born from the workshop of Antoine Bourdelle.〔 〔 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「René Iché」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
