Bouraine was active from approximately 1918 to 1935. He was born in near Paris in Pontoise (Seine-et Oise) and studied under Jean-Alexndre-Joseph Falguiere (1881-1900) who had reintroduced and emphasized realism in nineteenth-century sculpture. Bouraine was captured in Germany during the World War I and interned in Switzerland. In 1922, he exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries . The following year he began to exhibit at the Salon d' Autommne . He executed small-scale sculptures for several French firms, including Susse Freer , La Verrier , and Arthur Goldscheider , often exhibiting with the latter's La Stele and L' Evolution groups. He also exhibited in the early 1920s at the prestigious salon of Societe des Artistes Francais . He is also thought to have worked under Pierre Le Faguays , for both sculptors depicted Amazon warriors and their works are quite similar. In 1928 Gabriell Argy-Rousseau (1885- 1953) commissioned a number of figurines from Bouraine, mostly female nudes, but also a fountain and an illuminated group, all of which were executed in colored, translucent pate de verre. He executed two major commissions for the 1937 Paris International Exhibition , a colored cement in low relief for a fountain at the crafts center and an earthenware statue representing ceramics for the Sevres Pavilion.
