About the Item
A good & large constructivist bronze by one of Oregon's most celebrated 20th century artists, Tom Hardy (1921-2016).
Hardy was an accomplished sculptor, painter & print-maker. This bronze exemplifies his work, the bronze depicts a highly stylized creature, it is labelled to the underside "Charging Animal" and is mounted on a stone plinth, the bronze is mounted with a plaque signed "Tom Hardy".
Tom's work is housed in museums and galleries across the country. I had the privilege of knowing Tom, he was a wonderful character and was as whimsical and quixotic as his art!
“Born in Redmond, Oregon, Tom Hardy lived part of his boyhood on a sheep ranch in central Oregon before attending Oregon State University in Corvallis for two years and finishing his undergraduate education at the University of Oregon in Eugene (B .S., 1942). The year of his graduation the Oregon Ceramic Studio in Portland University of Oregon held the first Tom Hardy one-man show ever offered. After three years in the army Hardy returned to the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon to continue his training in sculpture (M.F.A., 1952). Subsequently active as teacher as well as sculptor, he had been employed by the Oregon General Extension Division, 1953-56, the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, and the University of California at Berkeley, 1956-58, Sophie Newcomb College of Tulane University in New Orleans, 1958-59, and Reed College in Portland, 1959-61. Tom Hardy is well known for his constructivist work in metal sculpture, which has been exhibited individually at many museums around the world and in one-man shows twice at the U of O (February 5-March 23, 1958, and November 3-22, 1959), many times at the Kraushaar Galleries in New York, and at least once each at the Portland Art Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, the Oakland Art Museum, the University of California at both Berkeley and Los Angeles, Stanford University Art Museum, the Ogunquit (Me.) Museum of Art, and numerous other institutions.”
