George Grard
George Grard (1901–1984) was a Belgian sculptor, known mostly for his representations of the female, in the manner of Pierre Renoir and Aristide Maillol, modelled in clay or plaster, and cast in bronze.
Grard was born in
Haesaerts brothers, Edgard Tytgat, and Paul Delvaux
.
In 1935, he was commissioned to create a sculpture for the rose garden at the
Exposition internationale, 1937. In the nineteen-fifties Grard, still in full possession of his mature powers, received repeated public commissions: the Seated Figure at the Banque Nationale, Brussels (1950), La Mer, fronting the post office at Ostend
(1955, illustration), the Naïade at Tournai (1950), and Earth and Water, near the Albert Bridge at Liège (1964).
George Grard died in Saint-Idesbald in 1984.
