About the Item

Superb handpainted massive scale Rooster - one of Sotaro's best artistic creations This enigmatic large scale proud plump rooster reminds us of the sights and sounds of an early morning back country experience. Designed by the Japanese legendary mid 20th century designer Sotaro Saegusa and created in his most valuable largest scale, it possesses a wonderful original old green and dark plum red hand painted patina. It is signed on lower tail/hip area with Sotaro's unmistakable signature mark. We will include the original collector signed box and artist document. Of the largest scale, it was sourced from a large Japanese collection this past year. Dimension: 9 inches high and 7.5 inches wide and 3 inches deep 4 pounds. Signed by Japan's award winning sculptor Sotaro Saegusa With finely cast heads, red plum color painted comb, good feather and tail plumes and executed in an attractive original fine green patina by Sotaro Saegusa- one of Japan's award winning mid century master sculptors. This is onlythe second in this iconic large scale form we have seen from this artist so far, having had the pleasure of handling many of this artists' fine creations. About the artist: Sotaro Saegusa (1911-2006) was born in Aji-cho, Kida-gun, Kagawa Prefecture. A graduate of the Metallic Engineering Department of Kagawa Prefectural Technical School in 1930 and the Sculpture School of Tokyo School of Fine Arts, Saegusa. Later he worked as a professor at the Nagoya University of Arts until he retired in 1986. Saegusa is a member of the Japan Artists 'Association, Japan Sculptors' Association and Shin Kozo Exhibition Paintings Division. Saegusa' enthusiasm for the arts continues after his retirement. His bronze works display a variety of themes and postures, reflecting traditional Japanese culture with injection of abstract elements. His works are highly revered for their artistic beauty. After his retirement, Saegusa focused on sculptures of animals including lunar animals. Saegusa has won a number of prestigious awards. In 1941, his works were selected for the 8th Shin Kozo Exhibition Western Painting Division and the 15th Imperial Exhibition Sculpture Division and he has been invited to take part in the exhibition every year since. He was presented the Chunichi Award in the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition at Nagoya in 1958, at an award in the Nagoya Japanese Art Exhibition in 1987, the Tokyo Governor's Award in the 65th Shin Kozo Exhibition Sculpture Division for his work "Iku" in 1993, and the Minister of Education Encouragement Award, the 71st Shin Kozo Exhibition Sculpture Division for Still Life in 1999.
