Isidore Grossman Signed 1955 “Fegele” Bronze Sculpture of a Figure
About the Item
A 1955 bronze abstract sculpture titled "Fegele" by the American artist Isidore Grossman (born 1908). The sculpture depicts an ambiguous nude figure standing with arms to their sides and head turned to the left. A coil of hair rests upon the right shoulder of the slender and defined figure. The base of the sculpture is titled, signed, and dated 1955.
Born in New York, Grossman was a friend and studio assistant of the Modern artist Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973) during the 1950s. Grossman did not have formal schooling as an artist but records of him exhibiting his sculptures begin in 1939 with him participating in exhibitions at the Carnegie Institute and the New School for Social Research in New York City. In 1940, his works were included in exhibits at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as having works included as part of the New York City WPA Art Project. In 1943, he joined the United States Army to serve during World War II. After returning from the War, Grossman exhibited works at the Whitney Museum in New York, as well as working as a studio assistant to Jacques Lipchitz.

- French, Antique Bronze Sculpture of Aberdeen Angus Bull by Isidore BonheurBy Isidore Jules BonheurLocated in Shippensburg, PAISIDORE JULES BONHEUR French, 1827-1901 Taureau Aberdeen-Angus" (Standing Aberdeen-Angus Bull) Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed to base "I. BONHEUR" Item # 211HDB17Z An exquisite and very rare casting of an Aberdeen-Angus bull, an unusual and distinctive breed of cattle from Scotland, this sculpture by Isidore Jules Bonheur is almost without a doubt cast by the foundry of his brother-in-law Hippolyte Peyrol and a rather early model as well in light of the distinctive construction method. In her text on the selection of 46 animal bronzes in the collection of the Georgia Museum of Art, Eleanor Luciano notes regarding this model that "Bonheur is never recorded to have been to Scotland, where he would have seen this unusual breed. Rosa Bonheur painted in Scotland, and its seems likely that Isidore would have drawn the idea for this bull either from one of her sketches or from an agricultural show in France. The animal's rich mane and strong modeling make this one of the most successful." Notable is the very fine surface patination which exhibits a glassy finish with a complex range of colors presenting in the body of the bull, overall being medium brown but augmented with an underlying reddish hue against auburn highlights. The base is signed "I. BONHEUR" in the typical manner. Museum Collections: * National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, acc. no. 2006.128.3 * Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia...Category
