Rare French Modernist Bronze Sculpture of “Eve” (1937) by Aime Octobre

About the Item

JEREMIE AIMÉ DELPHIN OCTOBRE French, 1868-1943 "Eve" (1937) Lost-wax verdigris and medium-brown patinated bronze signed in the cast "AIME OCTOBRE 1937", foundry cachet verso "cire purdue LEBLANC BARBEDIENNE PARIS", cold-stamped "BRONZE" Item # 401ZGW30A This sculpture, a modernist interpretation in bronze, exudes a visceral dynamism in its portrayal of the Biblical figure, Eve. The piece invites an in-depth examination, depicting Eve as the progenitor of humankind, at ease within the natural contours of the Garden of Eden. The artwork explores the theme of Eve prior to the Fall, depicted in a state of total naturalism, devoid of shame. Intriguingly, she holds an apple, possibly symbolic of the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, cradling it akin to an infant. This tenderly rendered representation invites contemplation of the parallels Octobre draws between the fruit and a child. The narrative of Eve is presented with a distinctive and potent aesthetic. The surface of the sculpture is adorned with a complex patina, showcasing a range of hues from vibrant greens to earthy browns. The texture appears charged with energy, giving an impression of the artist's active manipulation of the material during the creative process. This piece, modeled and later cast by Leblanc-Barbedienne following their amalgamation through the lost-wax casting technique, stands out for its rarity and emotional resonance. Measurements: 14 1/2" H x 24" W x 6 7/8" D Condition Report: Very fine condition with only the most minor patina wear.
