Early 20th Century Bronze Shot Putter Sculpture

About the Item

Sport has pervaded art as a motif, and sculpture specifically, since ancient times. This take on the classical motif renders a distinctly 20th century French version. Cast in bronze, an olympian figure tilts sharply to one side, capturing the moment before release when the ‘Lanceur de Poise’ or shot putter will let the ball fly. The detailed depiction captures the ripples in the cloth and the sharpness of the athlete’s gaze demonstrating the artist’s skill and giving this small scale piece a monumental impact.
