Loet Vanderveen large seated cheetah bronze sculpture
By Loet Vanderveen
Located in Walnut Creek, CA
Large limited edition (44/500) Seated Cheetah bronze sculpture by Loet Vanderveen. Dimensions are 19 1/2" tall by 21 1/2" wide and 9 1/2" deep. Weighs in at a hefty 44.4 lbs. Nice green/blue patina. Nice vintage condition with only minor signs of wear.
Born in Rotterdam, Holland Loet Vanderveen's childhood home was close to the zoo. It was during this period in life that he developed his love for animals. At night he would listen to the sound of the animals in the zoo, and fantasize about African safaris... fantasies which were eventually realized. During the WWII bombardment of Rotterdam the animals were destroyed as well as his home. These events led Vanderveen to a new phase in his life. He escaped occupied Holland for England, and was decorated for valor by Queen Wilhelmia. He served in the R.A.F. during the war.
After WWII, Vanderveen lived in Zurich, London and New York working as a fashion designer. Creatively unsatisfied with his profession he began private ceramic studies with the head of the Far Eastern department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (Fong Chao). He mastered Chinese...
