About the Item

Bronze study of a stretching cheetah. RHS under the belly bearing Ingwe Foundry stamp, ‘S31’ or ‘S3I’, Edition 3/15, monogram BMR. Artist unknown. I have been unsuccessfully resarching who the artist could be. The stretching pose of the cheetah is contemplative with a graceful, ease and content expression suggesting its attunement and hierarchy within the landscape and the animal world. Its power is conveyed with a noble quality in the pose, the sleek form and the sinewy musculature. Beautifully handworked with rich brown patina. Almost certainly inspired by the work of Dylan Lewis who is widely recognised as one of the world’s foremost sculptors of the animal form, particularly the big cats and Ingwe was his foundry.

Sculpture Figurative Man Sitting Contemplation Bronze Manner Giacometti
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
- The composition is the timeless theme of contemplation in the manner of Alberto Giacometti. - Physical characteristics have been removed and reduced to create a pared down form which accentuates how the viewer receives and responds to this thinking/meditative man in a relaxed pose being with himself and what is around him. - The organic hand working is highly textured defining the work creating different perspectives and contours. - Modelled in resin with antique bronze finish - Signed Mendes - Alberto Giacometti is best known for his elongated figures, often walking or standing, as well as figural groupings in different spatial situations. Giacometti’s unique vision whittled his subjects down to heavily worked but stick-thin figures. - Opportunity to purchase a sculpture in the manner of one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century at a fraction of the cost of an original. Supplied on a custom made acrylic plinth...

Loet Vanderveen large seated cheetah bronze sculpture
By Loet Vanderveen
Located in Walnut Creek, CA
Large limited edition (44/500) Seated Cheetah bronze sculpture by Loet Vanderveen. Dimensions are 19 1/2" tall by 21 1/2" wide and 9 1/2" deep. Weighs in at a hefty 44.4 lbs. Nice green/blue patina. Nice vintage condition with only minor signs of wear. Born in Rotterdam, Holland Loet Vanderveen's childhood home was close to the zoo. It was during this period in life that he developed his love for animals. At night he would listen to the sound of the animals in the zoo, and fantasize about African safaris... fantasies which were eventually realized. During the WWII bombardment of Rotterdam the animals were destroyed as well as his home. These events led Vanderveen to a new phase in his life. He escaped occupied Holland for England, and was decorated for valor by Queen Wilhelmia. He served in the R.A.F. during the war. After WWII, Vanderveen lived in Zurich, London and New York working as a fashion designer. Creatively unsatisfied with his profession he began private ceramic studies with the head of the Far Eastern department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (Fong Chao). He mastered Chinese...
