About: Ulysse Gemignani was a French sculptor born in Paris on December 21, 1906, and died in the same city on January 21, 1973
Biography: Ulysse Jean-Baptiste Antonin Marius Gemignani was born in the 13th arrondissement of Paris on December 21, 1906. He enrolled at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, where he studied under Jean-Antoine Injalbert and later Henri Bouchard, and began exhibiting at the Salon des artistes français as early as 1929.After winning his first Second Grand Prix de Rome for sculpture in 1932, he was awarded the First Grand Prix the following year for *Orpheus Calms the Storm*. He resided at the Villa Medici between 1934 and 1937, where he met Yvonne Desportes, who had won the first Grand Prix de Rome for musical composition the previous year. She would become his wife, and the couple would have three children, including Vincent, a composer and percussionist, and Michel Gémignani, a painter who won the Prix de Rome in 1966[2]. The family lived in Méricourt in the Yvelines department. In 1937, he received a gold medal at the Salon and was classified as “out of competition.” He became a member of the jury for the Salon des Artistes Français, and later for the Prix de Rome.He was named a Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1955. He died on January 21, 1973, at his home in Paris’s 14th arrondissement.
