Sirio Tofanari Decorative Objects

Sirio Tofanari was born in Florence on April 9, 1886. Tofanari is recognized as one of the foremost sculptors of the Animalier movement in Italy. He was trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He took part from 1909–34 in all editions of the Venice Biennale, while in the Rome Quadriennale, an entire pavilion was dedicated to him. His works can be admired in keynote galleries both in Italy and abroad like Rome, Florence, Paris, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Bahia Blanca, Santa Fe, Rio de Janeiro and San Paolo. In 1949, the President of the Republic issued a decree appointing him a member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. Tofanari died on October 12, 1969, in Milan.

"Spear Dancer", Spectacular, Rare Bronze with Male Nude by Brenda Putnam
By Brenda Putnam
Located in Philadelphia, PA
In an era when artists were capturing the exoticism and athleticism of modern dancers, such as Richmond Barthé's depiction of Féral Benga dancing with a large, curved sword or Paul Colin's drawings of Josephine Baker with her skirt of bananas, this sensuous presentation of a nude male dancer with a long spear stands out. The bronze was sculpted in 1926 by Brenda Putnam, who is best known for a series of bronzes showing children at play, often placed in gardens and parks. However, Putnam was ambitious to do more, leaving academic sculpture behind as she collaborated with architect Paul Philippe Cret to create the Puck Fountain for the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., executed a number of portraits in bronze, exhibited at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, and created "The Crest" -- consisting of a a large male nude swimming...
