“His feminine drawings and sculptures connects him to the French tradition, uniting structure and grace, going from Degas to Despiau, Belmondo”, the critic Jacques Busse warned. In fact, Jean Carton, awarded the Blumenthal Prize in 1946, quickly multiplied exhibitions in the world and prestigious commissions. Amongst the most named: the bust of president Bourguiba and Les Jumelles, a sculpture that is in the gardens of the Palais de l’ Élysée.
