François-Rupert Carabin (17 March 1862, inSaverne,Bas-Rhin – 28 November 1932, inStrasbourg) was aFrench cabinetmaker, photographer and sculptor. His work was representative of theArt Nouveau style.
Carabin was born ofAlsacian parents on 17 March 1862. His family had been displaced bywar in 1870 and after refusing to accept German nationality they moved to Paris when Carabin was just 8 years old. At the age of 16 he apprenticed with anengraver there. His first job was as an ornamental sculptor for a furniture manufacturer in a Saint-Antoine suburb.[1]
Between 1889 and 1919, Carabin sculpted many furniture pieces, mainly constructed from oak, pear, or walnut wood. One such piece, completed in 1893, was entitledFauteuil.
He mademedals and practiced photography. AfterWorld War I concluded, he was named the director of theÉcole supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg and was regularly invited to theVienna Secession. He worked in the artistic milieu ofMontmartre and made a series of photographic studies of prostitutes. His sculptures and designs featured the female form as structural rather than symbolic elements, tending towards theDecadent style. He sculpted a series of statuettes of dancers inbronze which he exhibited in 1897 at the Bernheim Gallery. He also participated at theSalon des Indépendants from 1884 to 1891. Around 1900 he exhibited his works in the Vienna Secession and as member and delegate of this artist association he organised art of the French avant-garde for the Vienna Secession.[2]
Carabin completed many monuments to the dead in the Great War, including the monument in Saverne that was destroyed in 1942 duringWorld War II.[1]Carabin died on 28 November 1932 in Strasbourg, France.[1]
