Clovis - Edmond Masson (1838-1913)
Pupil of Barye , Rouillard and Santiago , Masson regularly exhibited his animal sculptures at
the Salon from
1867 to 1909 .
From 1867 , with his plaster "Indian Tiger Hunt" ,
he specialized in animal representation .
His work is playful and inventive with a certain license from his mentor , Antoine-Louis Barye .
Over the years , at least fifty-two of his works have been exhibited at the Salon by Masson .
His son Jules-Edmond Masson also became a sculptor and studied with his father .
The city of Nimes has several sculptures by the artist in its Museum .
