Unique Bronze Sculpture by Leo Laukkanen Sweden 1960 Signed
Located in Paris, FR
Unique bronze sculpture by Leo Laukkanen Sweden 1960 Nice patina, good condition. More photos available Leo Olavi Laukkanen (11 October 1913 Helsinki - 1 November 1978 Helsinki) was a Finnish sculptor. He is particularly known for his abstract miniature sculptures, most of which are made of granite. Laukkanen studied at the Central School of Art and Design from 1931 to 1933. Although the best-known part of Laukkanen's output consists of abstract sculptures, in the early and late stages of his career he also made figurative sculptures in both stone and bronze, including female figures. In 1980, Helsinki Art Hall hosted an extensive memorial exhibition of Laukkanen's works, which he had bequeathed to the Finnish Artists' Association. Laukkanen was an assistant to the sculptor Wäinö Aaltonen...
