About the Item

Maurice Prost, 1894-1967, French Three Walking Black Panthers, circa 1930 Bronzes with black patina Signed on the marble M. PROST and “Susse Frères Editeurs, Paris” Certificate by Mr. Laurent-Adrien Asselineau Dimensions 1: - Height: 12.2 in - Width: 25.6 in -Depth: 4.3 in Dimensions 2: - Height: 7.5 in - Width: 14.5 in -Depth: 2.3 in Dimensions 3: - Height: 3.7 in - Width: 5.7 in -Depth: 1.2 in Maurice PROST: he was born in March 13, 1894 in Paris and he died in 1967. 20th Century, French. He exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français where he obtained a honorable mention in 1922, a silver medal in 1936 and a gold medal in 1963. He received the Legion of Honor in 1933. While the fate has just hit him (his arm was amputated the first months of the 1914's war), he abandoned his craft jewelry carver and opted for his passion: animal sculpture. He was a sculptor in direct carving, the hardest of the crafts. This choice was surprising considering his disability but revealed a will and a courage that characterized him throughout his life. From 1919 to 1945, Prost realized most of his creations. Artist recognized by the public, by the critics and by his peers, he has received during his career the highest distinctions. He left a work illustrates one of the richest eras of the twentieth century with a great diversity.

  • Art Deco Sculpture by Paul Lobel RKO Roxy Theatre Rockefeller Center
    Located in Rochester, NY
    Bronze art deco ram sculpture by Paul A. Lobel from the RKO Roxy Theater, Rockefeller Center, New York. Hand wrought. Provenance: RKO, Roxy Center Theatre; Mr. Eugene Lee Schoen; Mr. Neal Prince & Mr. Herbert Wade Hemphill Jr.; Mr. Neal Prince; The Trust of the above; Heritage Auctions. Presented by Joseph Dasta Antiques Paul Lobel (1899 - 1983): The accomplishments of Paul A. Lobel, industrial designer, metalsmith, sculptor and cartoonist/illustrator, may be viewed as the quintessential American success story. Born in Romania, at the turn of the century, he emigrated to the United States while an infant, and, from humble beginnings on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, grew up to attain a one-man show in Paris in 1925, win two awards at the International Exposition of Decorative Arts in Paris in 1932, be the subject of two exhibitions at the American Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He also founded an innovative jewelry and metals studio/shop in New York’s Greenwich Village. Furthermore, his contemporaries regarded him with awe and almost everything he attempted came to fruition. In the summer of 1926 Lobel exhibited 35 works, including drawings, etchings, paintings, metalwork and sculpture, in a one-man show at the Grande Librairie Universelle in Paris. During the next year, he toured London, Rome, Florence, Rotterdam, Brussels and Berlin, then, broke, returned to America where he again rented desk space and tried to resume his advertising career. But he was haunted by the modern design that he had been exposed to in Paris. So, after borrowing money to open a metalwork studio on Lexington Avenue, he sought out architect Eugene Schoen, an enthusiast of modern design, whom he had formerly been introduced to by Boardman Robinson. Schoen was in the process of opening a gallery devoted to showing the work of designers and craftsmen imbued with the spirit of modernism...
