Pompon, François (1855–1933). French sculptor. Much of his career was spent working as an assistant to other sculptors (including Rodin) and recognition came to him late in life after his Polar Bear (Pompidou Centre, Paris) was a great success at the 1922 Salon d'Automne. The work became enormously popular, reproduced in a variety of forms, and Pompon was hailed as the greatest animal sculptor since Barye.
