Panther striding upwards / - The powerful elegance of animalism -
Located in Berlin, DE
Arthur Dupagne (1895 Liège - 1961 Woluwe-Saint-Pierre), Panther striding upwards, c. 1938. Patinated bronze in full cast on a hollow-cast terrain base, signed in the cast “Dupagne”, 22 cm (length) x 13.5 cm (height) x 6 cm (width), 1.35 kg.
- Patina somewhat rubbed, slightly bumped in places, in good overall condition.
- The powerful elegance of animalism -
The powerful panther strides up a rock formation and pauses at the edge, overhanging it with his left paw to peer into the distance. He seems to be surveying his territory and searching for prey at the same time. Even if the predator pauses, the impulse to move upward may continue with a mighty leap the next moment; after all, the panther seems to have already caught the scent and made visual contact.
The staircase-like rock formation shows the panther's strength, which is present down to the tip of its tail, in the elegance of its supple, powerful movement. Arthur Dupagne certainly studied these movements in nature, and yet he formulates the musculature in the geometricized language of Art Deco. This does not transform the panther into an abstract creature of art, but rather expresses the fullness of power and the exciting dynamics of its inner movement. Dupagne also transferred the artistic experience he had gained in the Congo of a powerful, original African art...

Biography:
François Pompon (1855-1933) is known for his animal sculptures whose innovative style is characterized by the simplification of shapes and polished surfaces. Pompon entered as an apprentice in the workshop of his father, Alban Pompon (1823-1907) who was a "compagnon du devoir" of the carpenter-cabinetmakers. Thanks to a scholarship obtained by the parish priest, he left in 1870 for Dijon where he became an apprentice stonemason with a marble worker. He attended evening classes at the School of Fine Arts in Dijon, first in architecture and engraving with Célestin Nanteuil, then in sculpture with François Dameron (1835-1900).
After a short stint in the army in 1875, Pompon arrived in Paris where he became a marble worker in a funeral business near the Montparnasse cemetery. He attended evening classes at the Petite École, the future National School of Decorative Arts. His teachers were the sculptors Aimé Millet (1819-1891) and Pierre Louis Rouillard (1820-1881), also professor of anatomy, who showed him the menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes.
In 1890, François Pompon entered the studio of Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), where he worked as a practitioner at the marble depot, rue de l'Université. He quickly gained the master's confidence since he ran the workshop in 1893. His role then was to pass on the accounts, pay for the marbles and supervise the work. It is in this same workshop that he met Ernest Nivet and Camille Claudel. He worked for a long time as a practitioner for other sculptors such as Jean Dampt...

Popeye Sailor European Sculpture Ebony and Metal Art Deco Hagenauer
Located in Oakland, CA
Popeye the Sailor is a European sculpture in the Hagenauer style made of Ebony wood and metal in the Art Deco style. We have had a few pieces in this treatment, including style and materials. They are scarce to find. This one is exciting since it is an homage to the character of Popeye. This sculpture has a slightly cubist feeling with black ebony and silver treatment, including the navy anchor on its arm, obviously inspired by the original Popeye.
It’s not a widely known fact that a natural person inspired E.C. Segar, the creator of Popeye. We have discovered that it was fashioned to resemble this man, Frank “Rocky” Fiegel, whose parents immigrated from Poland to the United States. Rocky was born in 1868-1947, and as an adult, he joined the Navy. He was considered very strong and smoked a pipe, one of the characteristics of the cartoon Popeye, which became such an essential icon of protection, not allowing bullying or being bullied.

Lucien Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930. The brown patina on a marble base signed on the bronze L Alliot and stamped bronze on the deer. This particular piece has exceptional rhythm where the two gazelles interplay in a movement depicting leaping over the hills or water—very three-dimensional treatment showing the movement of the animals.

He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, was a member and the gold medal in 1920, out of competition, and was a member of the sculpture jury from 1934 to 1939. Alliot was well known for his figurative sculptures, which were exhibited for many years at the Salon de Paris. He received a third-place award in 1907 (which included funds for travel expenses) and a first-place award l in 1920. After he declared himself out of the artistic competition, he became a jury member at the Salon evaluating sculptural works from 1934 to 1939.
