Paul Philippe (1870–1930) was a French sculptor who worked during the late 19th and early 20th century. His work primarily consisted of bronze sculptures done in the Art Nouveau* and Art Deco* genres. Philippe was born in France circa 1870. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts* in Paris, France, under the direction of Antonin Larroux (1859–1913).[3] He specialized in bronze and chryselephantine sculptures that featured young women. A number of the pieces he created were of figures in the nude, which was popular during the era he worked in. He worked for a time in Berlin, sometimes employing the Rosenthal und Maeder (R.U.M.) and Preiss-Kassler foundries to cast his work. Philippe is perhaps best known for his circa 1925 sculpture entitled Awakening, although his oeuvre consists of a large body of work. Awakening features a young nude woman stretching as she awakens from a long night's sleep.
