Rembrandt Bugatti "Flamant en Marche" Bronze Sculpture
About the Item
Rembrandt Bugatti's "Flamant en Marche" also known as "Walking Flamingo" features a flamingo standing on two legs, a classic pose that highlights its slender, S-shaped neck and delicate, long legs. The sculptor has meticulously rendered the flamingo’s body with smooth, flowing lines that capture the essence of its lithe, flexible form. The bird's right leg, raised slightly off the ground, is carefully positioned to convey the sense of balance and poise of a real flamingo. Bugatti has sculpted in bronze the intricate detailing of the flamingo's feathers, using a variety of textures and finishes to mimic the soft, downy plumage and the delicate, overlapping feathers. The feathers are depicted with fine lines and subtle ridges, creating a sense of movement and softness despite the solidity of the bronze medium.

Circa: 1912

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
The flamingos at the Antwerp zoo were kept in a flamingo pool. The surface of the bronze is hard, the modeling crisp and angular, and detail is pared down to accentuate the bird’s sleek, hard lines. The curve of its neck breaks the composition, giving the sculpture a softer appearance.

Rembrandt Bugatti
Fils du renommé décorateur Carlo Bugatti et frère cadet du constructeur automobile Ettore Bugatti, Rembrandt Bugatti est connu à la fois pour ses bronzes animaliers et sa fin prématurée. Né à Milan en 1884, il réalise sa première œuvre importante en 1901, une sculpture d’un quatuor de vaches qui révèle tôt ses préoccupations animalières. Le talent de Bugatti est rapidement reconnu et, jeune encore, il connaît le succès. Achim Anscheidt, designer en chef chez Bugatti Automobiles, dira qu’il avait une capacité singulière « pour saisir le mouvement des animaux dans ce qu’il a de plus expressif ». En 1904, il est pris sous contrat d’exclusivité par le fondeur Adrien-Aurélien Hébrard. La qualité et la patine du bronze qu’il reçoit ainsi demeurent très recherchées sur le marché de l’art. Fasciné par les animaux exotiques, il parcourt le Jardin zoologique d’Anvers pour trouver de nouveaux modèles. Bien au courant d’un regain d’intérêt pour les sujets animaliers au XIXe siècle dans les tableaux de Géricault et Delacroix, ainsi que des bronzes florentins de la Renaissance par ses compatriotes Giambologna et Verrocchio, Bugatti cherche à redéfinir le rôle de la bête dans l’art plastique. Tout se passe à merveille jusqu’à ce que la Grande Guerre éclate, où, s’engageant dans la Croix-Rouge, il devient tuberculeux. Touché par sa maladie et perturbé par les atrocités de la guerre, il se suicide en 1916 à l’âge tendre de 32 ans, interrompant tragiquement une vie si prometteuse. Les sculptures de Bugatti se trouvent au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, au Musée d’Orsay, au Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne, au Hirschhorn Museum, Washington. Elles figurent aussi dans la collection privée d’Alain Delon. Dans la première décennie du XXe siècle, Bugatti participe à la Biennale de Venise. En 1911, il est officier de la Légion d’Honneur. Des expositions de ses œuvres ont lieu en 1904 et 1911 à la Galerie Hébrard, et en 1979 au Royal College of Art. En 2014, l’Alte Nationalgalerie de Berlin lui consacre une rétrospective posthume.

View AllRembrandt Bugatti "Panthère assise" Bronze Sculpture
By Rembrandt Bugatti
Located in New York, NY
In "Panthère assise" also known as "Seated Panther," Bugatti seems to have been concerned primarily with musculature. The uneven surface exaggerates the contours of muscles which in turn causes a curious effect: weightiness from the amplified muscles and lightness created by the myriad reflecting planes. Bugatti’s sculpture relies on asymmetry, with nearly half of the composition occupied by the panther’s horizontally extended tail. The curve of the tail rises, flowing into the S-shaped arc of the panther’s movement, accentuating the dynamic form of the great cat.
