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.

"Owl" Bronze Sculpture, Caricature, Rich Dark Brown Surface

Located in Detroit, MI

The bronze sculpture "Owl" is an exaggerated rendition of an owl that emphasizes the bird's most prominant characteristics - a big fluffy round body and large unblinking eyes making it a charicature of the bird. It is very touchable and calls for one to pet its rounded back. Tom Brun, the sculptor and zookeeper, is well-known for his wood, stone, marble, ceramics and ivory sculptures. One of them, a large hippopotamus, carved from walnut wood travelled the world in the State Department collection. It is said that Tom would often go into a house and pick up one of his sculptures and say that it was unfriendly – meaning that it had not been handled enough. Morley Driver has said of Brun in a newspaper article from the 1950’s “In Any Animal He Sees Beauty”: No one who has ever seen a Tom Brun hippopotamus will ever again think of it as ugly or ungainly, meaning that the artist not only gives you beauty but teaches you to see it. Tom has said: “Small pieces are like a proverb – a gem of meaning that one can dissect.” They are meant to be picked up, caressed and held. This owl, too, seems destined to be caressed. Brun was born in England in 1913. A few years after the end of World War I his father moved the family in 1919 to Detroit, Michigan. In 1935 at age 23, he officially became a U.S. citizen. He served in the army during World War II for five years and upon discharge and at the age of 36 took advantage of the GI Bill and applied for admission to Society of Arts and Crafts (now known as the College for Creative Studies) where he was gladly accepted. While at Arts and Crafts his instructors and established artists such as Sarkis Sarkisian, John P. Foster, Morris Brose, Richard Koslow, Patricia Burnett, Lloyd and Renee Radell...

Wild Horse - 21st Century Contemporary Bronze Sculpture of a Horse

By Frans van Straaten

Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant

Frans van Straaten Wilde Horse VII Bronze on bluestone pedestal H 65 cm W 65 cm D 35 cm Dutch artist Frans van Straaten (1963) should be called an artist of balance always searching for harmony between force and movement in combination with space. Because of the wide range in his art-education he has mastered the art of drawing, painting and sculpting technology. However, the classical plastic art of sculpture and modelling opens up the possibility for him to create his own language of sculpture in answer to his urge for art. Due to this style of sculpting, the preference for bronze is natural. After his study of sculpture at the Academy of Art in Rotterdam (1988), Frans van Straaten creates bronze sculptures in which he unites force and movement. Feeling and Emotion converted into Matter Sculpture is an experience of space combined with the challenge of the three-dimensional. The tension of space and movement are the themes, which Frans expresses in his sculptures. Summary it can be said that the power of life and being, the feeling and emotion by force and movement will be converted into matter. The experience of space is being expressed in the shapes and characters in each of Frans’ sculptures. His sculptures of bulls express explosive power while the horses find their strength in being elegant. Each sculpture recalls this way their own association and serves as a metaphor for a certain emotion. Feelings, which has inspired the artist for each sculpture. Powerful and Elegant Looking at the works of this artist, it becomes very clear that one of his most important sources is his background in art history. The Renaissance period as well as several Italian artists served as inspiration to Frans as a sculpture. For instance the expressions in Leonardo da Vinci’s artworks, and also Giovanni...
