Amedeo Bocchi Figurative Sculptures

Italian, 1883-1976

Amedeo Bocchi was enrolled at the Regio Istituto di Belle Arti in Parma. After graduating in 1901 with the highest grades, he attended the School of Nude Art in Rome, where he spent the rest of his life. In 1910, Bocchi was accepted, for the first time, with two paintings, to the Venice Biennial, where he can admire the great solo exhibition by Gustav Klimt. In 1911, at the Grand Exposition in Rome for the 15th anniversary of the Italian Unification, Bocchi produced, in collaboration with Barilli, de Strobel and Brozzi, a reconstruction of the Golden Room in the Castle of Torrechiara. In 1913, although he never officially subscribed to the manifesto of the Roman Secession, Bocchi was greatly impressed by the first exhibition organized by the group. Between 1913–15, he used his knowledge in the field of frescoes for the important job given to him by the Cassa di Risparmio di Parma bank for the decoration of the Council Meeting Hall. Bocchi processes the influence from Liberty and Klimt in a very original manner; his work, completed in 1916, obtains unanimous consensus of the critics. In 1915, he obtained the privilege of living in one of the studio-houses in Rome, made available to artists by Alfred Strohl, Villa Strohl-Fern. Bocchi would spend the rest of his life there, producing a series of masterpieces that would allow him the participation in the Biennial, the nomination as Academic of St. Luke, and a gold medal for his painting Bianca in abito da sera at the 1926 exhibition in Monza. Bocchi’s contribution to the artistic research of the 1900s is expressed through the processing of a unique and exceptional journey patiently built around the pictorial value of light and the strength of family affection.

Small Bronze Sculpture Cast Head After Rodin "Petite tete au nez retrousse"
Small Bronze Sculpture Cast Head After Rodin "Petite tete au nez retrousse"

Small Bronze Sculpture Cast Head After Rodin "Petite tete au nez retrousse"

By Auguste Rodin

Located in Surfside, FL

(after) Auguste Rodin Posthumous cast "Petite tete au nez retroussé" Featuring a bust of a woman. Limited edition bronze is mounted on a marble base and is signed on the lower right. Great detail. Dimensions: approx. 7-1/4" tall x 5" across x 5" deep with base Foundry mark on the reverse, #13 of 299 produced. François Auguste René Rodin (1840 – 1917) was a French sculptor generally considered the founder of modern sculpture. Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, and deeply pocketed surface in clay. He is known for such sculptures as The Thinker, Monument to Balzac, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, and The Gates of Hell. He modeled the human body with naturalism, and his sculptures celebrate individual character and physicality. Although Rodin was sensitive to the controversy surrounding his work, he refused to change his style, and his continued output brought increasing favor from the government and the artistic community. Rodin became the preeminent French sculptor of his time. By 1900, he was a world-renowned artist. Wealthy private clients sought Rodin's work after his World's Fair exhibit, and he kept company with a variety of high-profile intellectuals and artists. His student, Camille Claudel, became his associate, lover, and creative rival. Rodin's other students included Antoine Bourdelle, Constantin Brancusi, and Charles Despiau. Rodin entered the studio of Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, a successful mass producer of objets d'art. Rodin worked as Carrier-Belleuse' chief assistant until 1870, designing roof decorations and staircase and doorway embellishments. With the arrival of the Franco-Prussian War, Rodin was called to serve in the French National Guard, but his service was brief due to his near-sightedness. Rodin took classes with animal sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye. The teacher's attention to detail and his finely rendered musculature of animals in motion significantly influenced Rodin. Rodin won the 1880 commission to create a portal for a planned museum of decorative arts. Rodin dedicated much of the next four decades to his elaborate Gates of Hell, an unfinished portal for a museum that was never built. Many of the portal's figures became sculptures in themselves, including Rodin's most famous, The Thinker and The Kiss. With the museum commission came a free studio, granting Rodin a new level of artistic freedom. By 1900, Rodin's artistic reputation was established. Gaining exposure from a pavilion of his artwork set up near the 1900 World's Fair (Exposition Universelle) in Paris, he received requests to make busts of prominent people internationally, As Rodin's fame grew, he attracted many followers, including the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and authors Octave Mirbeau, Joris-Karl Huysmans, and Oscar Wilde. Rodin and Beuret's modest country estate in Meudon, purchased in 1897, was a host to such guests as King Edward, dancer Isadora Duncan, and harpsichordist Wanda Landowska. He left Beuret in Meudon and began an affair with the American-born Duchesse de Choiseul. From 1910, he mentored the Russian sculptor, Moissey Kogan...
