Doris Jarowsky
'General (Napoleon)' original bronze sculpture by Doris Jarowsky 1960s abstract

ca. 1966

About the Item

This small-scale bronze of the General Napoleon by American artist Doris Jarowsky is an excellent example of the sculpture of the 1960s. The sculpture is at once traditional and avant-garde: the subject of Napoleon is shown standing on a pedestal, much as though he were standing on a tall pedestal as a public historical marker. At the same time, however, he is constructed out of torn sheets of clay and wax, each assembled together like cubist planes with rough edges before being cast in bronze. These rough surfaces and edges are markers of artists exploring the materiality of their medium, which can be seen in the works of other artists of the period such as Harry Bertoia and Alberto Giacometti. bronze sculpture on walnut base 5.63 x 2.75 x 2.5 inches, bronze 7.38 x 2.75 x 3.38 inches, with base Overall good condition; no structural issues, scratches or bends; some buildup of dust

The approach at rendering the figure is grotesque, and the facial features have been severely distorted to the point were the portrait becomes an abstract interpretation of the subject.

  • Untitled, Head Of An Artist, Avant-Garde Bronze Sculpture
    By Phillip Pavia
    Located in Surfside, FL
    As an artist and writer, Philip Pavia was a committed member of the Abstract Art community throughout his long, distinguished career. Pavia was active in the art world until his death in 2005 and received immense critical praise for his artistic and literary contributions. Recognized for his signature work The Ides of March, he produced monumental pieces that alternated between figurative and abstract styles. While he was a dedicated sculptor, Pavia extended that passion into writing and published It is: A Magazine for Abstract Art. Born in 1911 of Provencal-Italian descent, the Stratford, Connecticut native received early inspiration from his father, a professional stone cutter. Pavia's sculptures are characterized by rough, chiseled bronze and marble, his father's trade was no doubt a significant influence. In fact, by 1934, his father was so enthusiastic about his son's passion that he encouraged young Philip to study at the Academia delle Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. Before his studies in Europe, Pavia was briefly a student at Yale University but quickly dropped out and enrolled at New York's Art Student League. While attending school, he befriended artists Jackson Pollock and Arshile Gorky. All three were to become major players of the vibrant new Abstract Art movement. At his father's advice, Pavia embarked on his European experience and was introduced to other influential artists of his time. Traveling between Italy and Paris, Pavia met John Ferren...
