Lachaise, Gaston
(b Paris, 19 March 1882; d New York, 18 Oct 1935). American sculptor of French birth. He was the fourth child of Jean and Marie Barre Lachaise. His father, a cabinetmaker, encouraged his son’s artistic abilities, and in 1895 Lachaise entered the Ecole Bernard Palissy; in 1898 he continued his studies at the Académie Nationale des Beaux-Arts. Exceptionally talented, Lachaise exhibited in the Paris Salons of 1899, 1901, 1902 and 1904, despite his young age.
