Sculpture Figurative Man Sitting Contemplation Bronze Manner Giacometti

About the Item

- The composition is the timeless theme of contemplation in the manner of Alberto Giacometti. - Physical characteristics have been removed and reduced to create a pared down form which accentuates how the viewer receives and responds to this thinking/meditative man in a relaxed pose being with himself and what is around him. - The organic hand working is highly textured defining the work creating different perspectives and contours. - Modelled in resin with antique bronze finish - Signed Mendes - Alberto Giacometti is best known for his elongated figures, often walking or standing, as well as figural groupings in different spatial situations. Giacometti’s unique vision whittled his subjects down to heavily worked but stick-thin figures. - Opportunity to purchase a sculpture in the manner of one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century at a fraction of the cost of an original.

  • Sculpture Sandstone Carved Figurative The Thinker
    Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
    The Thinker Mid-Century Modern, sandstone sculpture depicting a seated man, artist unknown This Mid-Century Modern interpretation of The Thinker interprets the pain, release and liberation associated with free-thinking. The man conveys vulnerability, tenderness and acceptance, his body yielding into the support of the chair creating a sense of rest and peace. Provenance: Private Collection acquired from The Hidden Gallery, Scotland Measures: Height 50cm.,20" Length 33cm., 15" Depth 22cm., 81/2" The Thinker - Auguste Rodin (1840 -1917). Cast made by Fonderie Alexis Rudier in 1904. Transfered to the musée Rodin in 1922. When conceived in 1880 in its original size (approx. 70 cm) as the crowning element of The Gates of Hell, seated on the tympanum, The Thinker was entitled The Poet. He represented Dante, author of the Divine Comedy which had inspired The Gates, leaning forward to observe the circles of Hell, while meditating on his work. The Thinker was therefore initially both a being with a tortured body, almost a damned soul, and a free-thinking man, determined to transcend his suffering through poetry. The pose of this figure owes much to Carpeaux’s Ugolino (1861) and to the seated portrait of Lorenzo de’ Medici carved by Michelangelo (1526-31). While remaining in place on the monumental Gates...

  • Cheetah Stretching Ingwe FoundryS31 Bronze Sculpture Maquette 3/15 Monogram BMR
    Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
    Bronze study of a stretching cheetah. RHS under the belly bearing Ingwe Foundry stamp, ‘S31’ or ‘S3I’, Edition 3/15, monogram BMR. Artist unknown. I have been unsuccessfully resarching who the artist could be. The stretching pose of the cheetah is contemplative with a graceful, ease and content expression suggesting its attunement and hierarchy within the landscape and the animal world. Its power is conveyed with a noble quality in the pose, the sleek form and the sinewy musculature. Beautifully handworked with rich brown patina. Almost certainly inspired by the work of Dylan Lewis...
