Claude Garache, Female Nude, 1975
Claude Garache was born in Paris in 1929. During his 20s and 30s, he studied sculpture and drawing under Robert Coutin. Here he learned the significance of human form which would later be translated in his preoccupation with the female nude. In the 50s Garache spent time in the studios of Cubist Andre Lhote and revered artist, Fernand Leger. Garache also visited Alberto Giacometti and worked in the sculpture studio of the prestigious Parisian art School ‘Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-arts’. He travelled frequently throughout in Europe, the Middle East and the United States. In 1955 he worked as an artistic advisor to American director, Vincente Minnelli, during the filming of ‘Lust for Life’, a biography of Vincent Van Gogh. Garache continued his career and focused on sculptures. He is still alive today.
