Maximilien FIOT, The Flight of the Ducks Sculpture, 1910s
About the Item
Couple of ducks flying on ocean waves by Maximilien FIOT (1886-1953), France, 1910s. Lost wax bronze - Double Rodin patina (black tinged with green). Here is the famous and rare sculpture of ducks taking flight on the waves of the ocean by Maximilien Fiot. This lost wax bronze sculpture, edited by the prestigious the Susse Brothers' foundry (Rodin, Giacometti, etc), is very rare today in its integrity. Indeed, this work has always shown a structural weakness in the fine link between the ducks and the wave. This is why we most often find today the ducks placed on a wooden, glass or marble base added and replacing the original wave. The opportunity to find this work in its integrity is therefore very rare today. We are very happy to present it to you here. Height : 21.2"(53.8cm), Width : 23.8"(60.4cm), Depth : 16.9"(43cm). Signed "M.Fiot" and marked "Susse Fes Edts Paris" on the base (see photos).
Maximilien Fiot is a French sculptor born in Le Grand-Pressigny in 1886. He was a student of the French sculptor Prosper Lecourtier.
Maximilien Fiot exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1910 and until the beginning of the First World War in 1914. While remaining in the animal domain, Louis-Maximilien Fiot participated in the interwar period, like many of his colleagues, in the production of War Memorials. One example among others, the War Memorial in Perray-en-Yvelines owes him its Gallic rooster.
In 1930, he created for the town of La Ferté-Alais, where his mother lived, the hieratic lion that watches over the names of her Children who died for the Fatherland and that recalls that they were "king of battles like the lion".
Animals are his main subjects: birds, dogs, cats and other wild animals such as wolves, deer, lions or panthers.
His style is very modern, dynamic and refined, which differentiates him from other sculptors of the time whose more static works are imbued with the Art Deco style. Maximilien Fiot's bronzes are notable for the observation of movement, giving his subjects a striking vitality and verisimilitude.
The majority of Maximilien Fiot's sculptures were cast by the Susse Frères foundry, although the artist used different foundries for his early works. The Susse foundry, although the trend was towards sand casting, uses the lost wax technique to obtain its multiples.
