About the Item

this plastic group, depicting "the Annunciation," is a sketch for a bronze that the artist would exhibit between 1957 and 1960 at his solo shows at the Strozzina in Florence, the Cocchini Gallery in Livorno, Rome and Brescia. "She is not dominated by formalism as an end in itself" (M. VENTUROLI), "some are pieces of elegant workmanship, but others are absolute achievements" (G. ETNA), "an interesting sculptor that rarely happens to visit" (M. LANDI), "complete personality, intimately linked to the reality of her spirit and the power of creation" (R. MAZZARELLA), are just a few of the many positive comments that sculptor Maria Chiaromonte (until the 1940s also with the double surname Chiaromonte Fornari) has received in her short (as far as we know) career. There is very little biographical information about her, in fact, and it is mostly related to her artistic activity between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, when she lived and lived in Rome. We find her as an assiduous attendee of the Quadriennali in Rome and the Venice Biennials, but also internationally, Zurich and Paris, receiving important public commissions and counting among her collectors members of the cultural elite and the upper echelons of government.

Bronze Sculpture “Surrender 8”
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries, museums, and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
