Japanese animal bronze (bull and bear)
About the Item
the fight for survival. In this work, a bull and a bear are the protagonists. The huge, powerful, heavily muscled bull is shown goring his over matched adversary. The bear, "belly up", is surely in dire straits. The sculptor has been able to convey
intensity, motion and elicit emotional reaction with his snapshot of the theme.
Japanese animaliers have produced superior quality works for centuries. This example is no exception. His skill, knowledge of these protagonist's anatomy and
his exquisite choices in the colors/tones of patination and wood create a stunning,
highly desirable work of art.
