"L'Effort, " Large Art Deco Bronze with Nude Males in Common Cause
About the Item
One of the most powerful depictions of the male nude we have ever offered, "L'Effort" was sculpted by Joseph Witterwulghe, a Belgian sculptor, in the late 1920s. The sculptor studied at the Academy of Arts in Brussels and taught for years at the Institute of Arts and Crafts. He was primarily known for his bas reliefs and medal designs, and sculpted a major monument in Liège. A bronze medallion with the same "L'Effort" motif was also sculpted by Witterwulghe, and is more commonly found, but this large bronze is extremely rare.
