About the Item

Claudio Bravo (Chilean 1936-2011) & Raul Valdivieso (Chilean 1931-1993) "Package on a Pillow" ca. 1975 Silvered and Enameled Bronze on Resin Pillow. Edition II/V 9" x 14" x 14" inches Provenance: Pyramid Galleries, Washington D.C Lou and Bella Jacobs, Chevy Chase, Maryland Raúl Valdivieso studies sculpture at the Escuela de Bellas Artes at the Universidad de Chile from 1952 to 1957. In 1957 he travels to Paris in order to perfect his studies of sculpture at the "Grande Chaumière" and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts. Yet it does not take long before he finds a workshop so as to learn the graphic techniques at the Académie of William Hayter. He works as an assistant of Roberto Matta, the famous Chilean artist, for several years, making sculptures based on Matta’s drawings. In 1961 he decides to move to Madrid in order to work there as a freelance sculptor. In addition to bronze sculptures, he works with wood and shows particular skills working with stone. Well-known galleries of Madrid exhibit his art work. This is also how he meets the internationally renowned painter Claudio Bravo. They become long-term friends who travel together to Morocco, New York and Egypt. Starting in 1971, he lives in great solitude in the harbour of Essaouira in Morocco for three years, trying to connect with the North African culture, which will have an influence on his art. In 1974 Valdivieso returns to his homeland Chile, where he focuses exclusively on stone sculptures from now on. He creates more than twenty stone sculptures made of granite, basalt and marble that are exhibited by the Instituto Cultural de Las Condes in 1976 and are great successes, making him famous. In the same year Galería Iolas Velasco exhibits his new sculptures in Madrid. Seven hundred visitors come to the opening! In the 1980s he lives and works alternately in Chile and in Madrid, where his sculptures are very much in demand by now and are sold for exorbitant amounts. He is only 61 years old when he passes away in Santiago de Chile. Claudio Bravo lived and worked in Tangier, Morocco from 1972 onward. The artist first established himself as a society portraitist in Madrid in the 1960s, gaining recognition for his astounding ability to create verisimilitude. Demonstrating mastery in all techniques and mediums on paper, his superior draftsmanship closely resembled the style of the Renaissance-Baroque tradition. Bravo’s ability to depict creases, indentations, and folds in his still lifes was reminiscent of Spanish masters such as Zurbarán and Velázquez. Bravo continued to create figurative paintings, drawings, and prints and his exceptional ability to give life to mundane objects was unparalleled until his untimely death in 2011. The emotion he was able to capture in his oil paintings is also present in his lithographs, which hold the same warmth and level of detail. His most recent series of lithographs features animals and skulls of animals native to his home in Morocco. Works by Claudio Bravo are included in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Santiago, Chile; Rufino Tamayo Museum of International Contemporary Art, Mexico City, Mexico; Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam, The Netherlands; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Peter Ludwig Museum, Cologne, Germany; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
