Important Art Deco Bronze Panel, Portrait of George Alexander
About the Item
Important historically and artistically, this panel by the Hungarian-American sculptor, Alexander Finta, celebrates the life and work of George Alexander. One of the nation's leading Presbyterian clergymen, Alexander led the University Place Presbyterian Church in New York City until it merged with Madison Square Presbyterian Church (famously designed by Stanford White) and First Presbyterian Church a few blocks away in 1919, after which he pastored First Church. This panel is teaming with human figures telling a number of important Biblical stories, including Lot's wife -- turned into a pillar of salt -- Abraham about to sacrifice his son, and the Wise Men approaching the Nativity scene. Finta, the sculptor, studied under Auguste Rodin in Paris, later emigrating to Brazil and New York, creating monuments and memorials to society's famous along the way. Later he settled in Los Angeles and became an important artist in California, serving as the art director for 20th Century Fox Studios.
This plaque has the foundry mark of Priessman Bauer in Munich, which was used by sculptors such as Gaston Lachaise, who considered its work superior to the foundries of America.
