Morlon, Pierre-Alexandre

(b Mâcon, Saône-et-Loire, 4 June 1878; d 1951). French sculptor and medallist. He was a pupil of Alexandre Falguière, Antonin Mercié and Jules-Clément Chaplain at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, and exhibited at the Salon from 1900, winning a gold medal in 1920 and a medal of honour in 1926. He was responsible for numerous war memorials, including those at Charolles and La Clayette, Saône-et-Loire, and at Rambevilliers, Vosges, as well as for a large number of medals, including To Arms (1907), the Allied Victory Medal, the Apple (1930) and the Battle of Flanders (1937). His style is typical of French decorative arts in the inter-war period, combining geometric decorative forms with a continuing commitment to representation.
