Life
Born in Colombes, the son of a baker, Pourquet had Nivernais origins and was a student of Louis-Ernest Barrias and Jules Coutan at the École des beaux-arts de Paris.[1] In 1907, he became a member of the Société des artistes français
He was successful after the First World War, with sculptures of Poilus that served as models for many war memorials in France[2] under three different models: Bust, Poilu, and more particularly the one entitled Resistance, of which several hundred copies will be cast by the Fonderie d'art du Val d'Osne [fr].[3]
Among other works, is "Orpheus at the tomb of Eurydice", a bas-relief which will then be acquired by the State for the new National Conservatory of Music,[4] a monument dedicated to Jules Renard in Chitry-les-Mines (Nièvre)[4] where the writer lived as a child, and the Tombeau de la famille Sabaterie, in the Arlanc (Puy-de-Dôme) cemetery.[4] He remarried at the town hall of the 18th arrondissement on 5 November 1921, with Valentine Saint-Selve.
For a long time, Pourquet had his workshop at Les Fusains [fr], an artists community located at 22 rue Tourlaque [fr][5] in Montmartre, in the 18th arrondissement.
