Sculptures

Jouve's sculpted work began around 1898, with small-sized sculptures and bas-relief plaques, published in very small series, cast by Rudier and marketed by the Bing gallery.

From 1905, Jouve made larger sculptures. He will be the publisher himself, making the fonts produced as and when he sells. The prints being extremely small, between three and six copies on average, the distribution of his exceptional works was therefore very limited.

Paul Jouve traveled to zoos all over the world to observe lions, tigers and panthers.

His sculptures are perfectly anatomically correct, powerfully evoking the flexibility and nobility of big cats.

He is undoubtedly one of the greatest animal sculptors of the 20th century.
