Ruben Nakian Bronze Figurine "Leda and the Swan" Limited Edition
By Reuben Nakian
Located in Bloomfield Hills, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
“Leda and the Swan” is by Reuben Nakian (1897 - 1986). He was an American sculptor and teacher of Armenian extraction. His works’ recurring themes are from Greek and Roman mythology. Nakian’s small bronzes achieve majesty and power which are not dependent on size and amplitude. With characteristic freshness, he has reinterpreted the classical subject of Leda and the Swan refining it in the Classical-Renaissance-Baroque tradition in a contemporary way. Dr. Robert P. Metzger gives us his aesthetic interpretation of this work which retells the myth in classical hedonism and freedom of expression showing Leda and the Swann prior to her being ravaged and during their first meeting. “The young virgin is fascinated with her new found friend and accepts him in a spirit of playfulness, contentment and wonder. She is dreamily available and shyly seductive as the deceptively tame swan snuggles up to her with its phallic-like neck.” Leda appears composed, placid yet open and available as compared to her more intense and passionate states in other of Nakian’s depictions on the same theme. This was cast at the "Renaissance Art Foundry" in 1978 and is so marked on the base being #5 of 7.
It is believed that “no other sculptor of the twentieth century matched Rueben’s heroic renditions with the grand themes of Western Art. His erotic mythological figures exude a joyous energy of gesture and movement which place them among seminal sculptural achievements of the past one hundred years.”
Nakian studied at the Independent School of Art in New York City previously known as the Robert Henri School … with Homer Boss...

Art Deco Lemanceau Greyhounds Green Ceramic Sculpture
By Charles Lemanceau
Located in Valladolid, ES
Outstanding pair of greyhounds sculpture made in glazed ceramic by Charles Lemanceau, one of the most important sculptors or potters of the French Art Deco period, especially renowned for his animal sculptures (bestiary). The main characteristic of his figures is the stylization of the forms, as can be seen in this case. The most spectacular is the colour and finish of the glazed ceramics, in an impressive jade green. Both are represented jumping, but each one is captured at a different moment, as if between the two they configured a complete jump. A dynamic piece but full of elegance.
Glazed pottery is the product of firing a piece of clayey clay that is plastered or glazed. This pottery process, called vitrification (or glaze), is achieved with a varnish based on lead or other substances. Although some sources attribute its invention to China in the 3rd century BC. C., and its arrival in the West in ancient Rome, there are earlier testimonies in the Ancient Near East, or Babylonian pottery. In fact, the use of glazed ceramics to embellish walls has been used in Islamic art since the Middle Ages, giving rise to tiles.
Charles Lemanceau (1905 - 1980) was born and studied in Paris. He graduated from the School of Applied Arts and the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in 1923. From 1923, following the L'Art pour tous movement launched by Victor Prouvé, he worked for the Printemps Primavera art workshops, especially with the sculptor Chassaing, and through his creations for the Saint-Clément earthenware factory, as well as for the Sainte-Radegonde earthenware factory or for the Louis Lourioux establishments.
In 1925, he exhibited at the Salon d'Automne with such artists as Robert Mallet-Stevens, Le Corbusier, Henri Matisse. During his military service he sculpted the bust of Ambroise Paré for the Val de Grâce...
