Fred Press, American Art Deco, Painted Plaster Bust of a Faun, ca. 1930s
By Fred Press
Located in New York, NY
Signed ‘Fred Press’ on back
FRED PRESS (American, 1919 – 2012) was born to Samuel and Rose Press, who emigrated from Russia in the early 1900’s. He was the fourth of five children. He was married to Alice Bernadette for over 60 years and they had three children, David, Peter and Christopher.
At an early age Fred showed his sculpting prowess as the Ivory Soap contest winner in the early 1930’s. During his contemporary stage, he created numerous sculptures with bold design choices and unique subject matter. Fred’s sculptures reflect both historically significant figures and time periods but he also showed a more fanciful side with sculptures depicting mythical folklore using the likeness of some of his relatives. His subject matter also reflected the people and cultures he came into contact with while a member of the Sixth Air Force Division stationed in the Panama Canal Zone...

Bronze Lost Wax Sculpture Depicting a Praying Buddhist Monk with Offering Bowl
Located in Yonkers, NY
A small vintage bronze cast sculpture from the mid 20th century depicting a praying Buddhist monk sitting on a base and holding an offering bowl. Created with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) which allows for great precision and finesse in the details, this vintage bronze statue depicts a praying Buddhist monk sitting on a base, preciously holding an offering bowl. Having placed the bowl on his left hand, the monk is protecting the content with his right one. He is peacefully looking upwards, in a prayerful attitude. He is dressed with a thin robe uncovering his right shoulder, the fabric falling delicately on his left side. He is sitting on a base in a single lotus position. The bowl comes off as shown on image 9. The back is decorated as well, with less details than the front. With its nice depiction and dark patina, this vintage bronze praying Buddhist monk statue...
