Elephant with a Cane Sculpture Signed and Dated 1984

About the Item

This whimsical sculpture of a lame elephant in red, white and blue colors is signed and dated 3/84. We cannot make out the signature but it looked like Red Grooms. We had the gallery who represents him contact him and this is not his work, however they even admitted it is in his style. It is Papier Mache over some heavy metal like iron. Perhaps someone will recognize the artist, as the signature is clearly pictured.

Schumm was a native of Colorado Springs, Colo., who served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. Driven by an interest in whittling and sculpture, he used G.I.

In the early 1960s, he developed an original method for casting small bronzes at the same time that he was designing and helping to construct a sculptural playground for the Colorado Springs Parks Department. The playground pieces were featured in "Woman’s Day" magazine and can viewed online at you tube His bronze-casting innovations led to his receipt of a Fulbright Scholarship and two years of study in Florence, Italy. Upon his return to the United States, Schumm lived in New York...
