"Shepherd and Shepherdess, " Monumental Art Deco Sculptures, Probably by De Vegh
By Geza De Vegh
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Monumental and dignified, this pair of Art Deco sculptures depict a shepherd and shepherdess, crisply shaped and stylized like the best of 1930s public sculpture, and painted in rich but subdued colors with an effect like sun-bleached stucco. It is our estimation that they were sculpted by Geza De Vegh, the Hungarian-American sculptor who created a range of pieces for the Lenox and Lamberton Scammell porcelain works, both in Trenton, New Jersey, as well as a group of rare ceramic pieces for the Phoenix Company. Importantly, De Vegh's work was very popular among set designers and art directors in Hollywood. His works are evident in the background of important Bette Davis films such as "The Letter," art directed by Carl Weyl; and "Now Voyager...

Located in Montreal, QC
Bronze sculpture in verdigris patina by Gabriel Forestier (1889-1969), representing "Aphrodite".Signed Gabriel Forestier on the base; also inscribed "Alexis Rudier Fondeur Paris". France Circa 1930 Provenance: Private New York Art Deco collection. Forestier entered the Municipal School of Fine Arts of Bordeaux in 1907. He won the end-of-year competition in 1907 and was authorized to compete for the École Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris where he was permanently admitted in 1908. He settled in Paris. From 1909, at the age of 20, he received his first orders. He exhibited regularly at the Salon of French Artists between 1910 and 1939, and won several medals there.

His "Giant Suffocating a Snake" from the Salon of 1934 earned him a gold medal, and he received the grand prize of the International Exhibition of 1937 for the creation of the sculpture of the bronze door of the City's museum of modern art from Paris. He received the title of knight in 1939, then Officer of the Legion of Honor of Arts and Letters in 1949 for his works. He served as a jury at the École des Beaux-Arts between 1939 and 1942.
