Artist's style and technique

During his career, Albert Binquet produced three-dimensional sculptures, bas-reliefs and sculpted mirrors, often in bronze. The latter are part of the Art Deco movement.

Albert Binquet, a sought-after Art Deco sculptor

Albert Binquet is a sculptor who produces works close to the Art Deco movement. He was also a decorator. Born in 1879, very few details of his personal life and artistic approach are known today. He did, however, teach at the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, and exhibited at the Salon d'Automne from 1923 to 1931.

He has created sculptures with various foundries, such as the one in Hohwiller, although his three-dimensional sculptures have never before appeared on the auction market. On the other hand, he has produced several bas-reliefs, for which it is already easy to gauge the appeal to collectors.

Like Line Vautrin, his name is particularly famous for his mirrors, often sculpted in bronze, in a rather elongated form, the particularity being that the bottom of his mirrors represents a mask. The rendering establishes a certain stylistic link with primitive art.

Albert Binquet is one of those artists who don't make their mark on their era. Unknown to the general public, his works are now highly valued on the auction market.
