Mid 20th Century Valsuani Bronze Sculpture of a Martiniquaise after Paul Gauguin

About the Item

A very fine bronze of the 'Martiniquaise' or 'Woman of Martinique' sculpture after Paul Gauguin. This bronze was modeled after the 'Woman of Martinique' or 'Femme de la Martinique' held in the Pearlman collection. It was cast by the Valsuani Foundry in France in the cire perdue (lost wax) techique. It was quite likely cast as a commission by the important 'Galerie Zak' in Paris. (The original model in the Pearlman collection has a Galerie Zak provenance and was sold to Pearlman by 1957.) It retains a rich dark patina and verdigris the crevices. With an incised 'no. 1' mark and with a Valsuani cire perdue foundry mark to the side of the plinth. Overall, simply an amazing work after an original by the incredibly important Post-Impressionist painter and sculptor Paul Gauguin. Measures: Height ca. 9 1/4 in. Items purchased from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.

American Modernist Sculpture Bust of a Man by Lucile Leslie Swan & Valsuani

By Valsuani Foundry

Located in Shippensburg, PA

Lucile Leslie Swan United States, 1890-1965 Bust of a Man Lost-wax patinated bronze signed in cast "L. Leslie /33", sealed verso "A. VALSUANI cire perdue" Item # 410REP02A Cast using the lost-wax method the Valsuani foundry was renowned for perfecting, this fine modernist bust showcases loose modeling to create a chaotic surface while articulating an exactiingly realist sense of her sitter. His powerful features and stoic profile evoke a character of great seriousness. The bust is cast hollow and is raised on an early wooden plinth. Leslie Swan (born Lucile Swan, May 10, 1890, Sioux City, Iowa) was an American sculptor and painter, known for her sensitive and evocative portrayals of human figures, informed by her extensive travels and intellectual exchanges. After receiving early education at an Episcopal boarding school, she moved to Chicago in 1903 and began her studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1908. In 1912, she married fellow artist Jerome Blum. Over the next decade, Swan’s artistic career took her to Corsica, Japan, China, Tahiti, and France, where she immersed herself in the diverse cultures and artistic traditions she encountered. In 1924, following her divorce, Swan relocated to New York City, where she continued her work as both a painter and sculptor. Five years later, she accepted a significant commission from the Cenozoic Laboratory in Beijing, beginning a transformative period in her career. It was in China that she met the philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and their friendship would profoundly influence her work and life. Swan's portrait bust of Teilhard, now housed at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, remains one of her most celebrated pieces. She also created a reconstruction of the Sinanthropus skull, a project supervised by German anatomist Franz Weidenreich. During her time in Beijing, Swan modeled a variety of subjects, from Western intellectuals to local Chinese figures. Her sculptures of children, Chinese jugglers, and sword dancers...
