Mauro Corda
Contortionniste au Masque Minnie

About the Item

Mauro Corda’s figurative sculptures maintain a reverence for classical and modernist traditions, while also expressing the artist’s voice. Though born in France, the artist hails from a family of Italian stonecutters and received his education at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Working in metals such as bronze, aluminum, and stainless steel, Corda adheres to a mostly classical notion of the figure, yet he deviates from historical tradition by placing his figures in unusual poses or by adding unexpected elements. His sculpture The Reliquary, for example, includes a syringe embedded into a gilt-bronze arm. This element adds an enigmatic and poetic quality to the work, and identifies the sculpture as a contemporary object despite its traditional form and material.

La Fontaine
Located in Atlanta, GA
Born in Melun in 1957, Jager is a French sculptor and painter. Passionate about equitation, he is famous for making representations of horses in plaster and bronze in all their forms. He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Dijon and is currently living in France. Rather than just being an artist, he describes himself as a dreamer: unpredictable and passionate. For Frédéric JAGER, beauty is a must. His style, classic, figurative, is stunning in this world of contemporary art. Bringing bronze to life, his works always capture the energy and beauty of the horse “Because unlike men, a horse is always beautiful, always strong, always sad.” Several large companies, such as HERMES, NINA RICCI, goldsmith MELLERIO, CHEVIGNON, SOCIETE GENERALE, HORSE WOOD, watches PEQUIGNET, SWEATERIE, have called upon him for sculptures, decorative objects, advertising works, or trophies for the races. He has had numerous solo exhibitions, and has also participated in a myraid of art fairs such as the ‘Salon International de Saumur’, the Animal Sculpture Biennale of Rambouillet, the Derby Horse in Art...
