Hippolyte Montillie
Hippolyte Montillie was a late 19th and early 20th century deaf French sculptor.
Montillie was born in Moulin, France, and earned a degree from the Pereire School for the Deaf in Paris, remaining active thereafter in Paris.[1] His most important works are a set of decorative figures on the Pont Alexandre III, and a bronze statue entitled L'Honneur dominant la Discords on the cornice of the Grand Palais.[1][2]
He moved to the United States around 1900,[3] where he worked in the studio of Karl Bilter,[1] producing sculptures and decorative works for the Pan-American and South Carolina Expositions of 1901,[3] and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904.[2]
