Adolescent Turkey Bronze Sculpture by the American Animalier Albert Laessle
About the Item
A rare model of what we believe is an adolescent turkey by the important American Animalier Sculptor, Albert Laessle.
The dynamically modeled young bird is straining to scratch its back with wings outstretched and legs splayed slightly in stride. The cast is mounted on an original rouge marble base.
Laessle spent the years from 1904-1907 working in Paris with Michel Beguine. It is easy to imagine an influence in this work from possible exposure the works of Rembrandt Bugatti and Rodin during this time.
The bronze has a rich chocolate patina with some small spots of green oxidation.
The integral plinth is marked for Laessle, Paris, 1907, and the Roman Bronze Works.
Laessle's work is held in the Met, Peabody and Carnegie Institutes, PAFA, and found in public spaces. He was a student of Anshutz and Grafly, was a long-time instructor at PAFA, and was recognized in lifetime with major awards.
Height: ca. 8 3/4 in.

Cubist Wood Sculpture of a Nude by Russian American Sculptor Boris Blai, 1930s
By Boris Blai
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A carved wooden cubist sculpture of a seated nude woman by Boris Blai (1893-1985).
This carving likely dates to the 1920s-1930s (during Blai's time in Philadelphia).
Most likely constructed of sections of laminated basswood stained with a dark stain, it has an integral plinth with button feet and a carved signature the base.
The sharp angular lines of the body are starkly contrasted by the soft-edged, almost nondescript depiction of the head and face.
Blai was born in Russia and studied in academies in St. Petersburg, Paris, and eventually under Auguste Rodin. After WWI, Blai emigrated to the US, where aside from his prolific art production, he was also instrumental in the founding of the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, the Long Beach Island...

"La Petite Sphere" Bronze Abstract Sculpture by Emile Gilioli
By Émile Gilioli
Located in Stamford, CT
A bronze sculpture on marble base by Emile Gilioli entitled "La Petite Sphere". This piece will be included in "The Forth Coming" catalog which is being produced by The Gilioli Archive.
"Emile Gilioli was born to a family on Italian shoemakers who had settled beside the Canal Saint-Martin. After the first World War, the family moved back towards Italy, settling in Nice.
In 1932, Gilioli took courses at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs de Nice, notably with the future artist Marie Raymond.
During the Second World War, Gilioli was mobilized in Grenoble where he passed the remainder of the conflict. He made the acquaintance of Andry Fracy, a conservationist at the Grenoble Musee des baux-arts and led him to discover cubism.
After the war, Gilioli settled in Saint-Martin-de-La-Cluze near Grenoble, where he sculpted in his workshop. His art was associated in a certain way with the deeds of the French Renaissance. He became friendly with Thomas Gleb...
