About the Item

Excellent bronze of boy and rabbit measuring 15 1/4"H x 5 1/2"W x 5"L. By Massachusetts/New Mexico/New York artist Warren Wheelock (1880-1960). The work has a dark, rich patina and was created circa 1930s. A sculpture by Wheelock is in the collection of the Smithsonian Art Museum. He also had a work that was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics. This piece is in perfect condition with no flaws. Born in Sutton, Massachusetts, Warren Wheelock (1880-1960) became a painter, sculptor, illustrator, teacher and writer. He was known for his direct carving of geometric shapes to create figures that were nonobjective, and he also did representational heroic portraits. Exhibition venues include the Corcoran Biennial, the Woodstock Art Association, and the American Abstract Artists. He had a strong connection to the mountains of western North Carolina as well as to Woodstock, New York, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. During his life he was well-enough known and respected to be referenced in articles in Life Magazine, Time Magazine, and the New York Times. A heroic bronze by Wheelock of Baron von Steuben is in Philadelphia. He did WPA work as well. During the summers of the early part of the 20th century, Wheelock lived in a schoolhouse in Linville Falls, North Carolina. He stayed in the schoolhouse until he completed a house, which is still used, quite comfortably, and he painted and sculpted while there. He used oil on wood panels and on plaster. He carved soapstone and did bas relief in plaster.
