Dominik Albiński
(born 1975, South Africa)
Dominic Albinski, was born in South Africa, in 1975. He started sculpting, at
a young age, at the Art Classes of Mercia Desmond, in Johannesburg. From the
start, his talent for capturing movement, and character in his human, and animal
figures was remarkable. Dominic had a happy childhood, spending his time in the
studio, where he studied art and anatomy, which was later to become one of the
major themes of his sculptures. He also spent a lot of time on the South African
coast; Durban, North Coast and Cape, Plettenburg Bay and in the bush Kruger
Park, Okovango Swamps, Chobe and Pilansberg game reserves. He was a good
student, but preferred sculpting in his studio, among his artworks, than studying.
After finishing High School (St John’s College), he left for Paris, to start a life
of independence, in the French capital, famous for artists like Rodin, Bugatti,
Carpeaux, Daumier, Giacometti, and Picasso, who inspired him. He was excepted
into the prestigious Institute of Political Science. However, his passion for
sculpture, made him choose sculpture as a career.
He started studying sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and
with the British Sculptor, James Butler in England. Here, he learnt observation and
techniques that would stand him in good stead later, when he came back to
France, as a Professor of Communication at the renowned Ecole Francaise
D’Attache de Presse near the Champs Elysees. He had his first major exhibition at
the Arnaud Gallery in Verneuil sur Avre in Normandy. A collector, found interest
in his work, and created a vast collection of his bronzes, as well as promoting
Dominic in various galleries in the region of Normandy, and Touraine, such as
Galerie 21 and Club de Arche de Noe, in Tours and Galerie des Remparts, and
Eclat de Verre, in Le Mans. He also exhibited in La Rochelle in the Galerie Hourdin,
and Bordeaux at the Galerie des Remparts. During this period he studied
Literature at the Sorbonne.
In Paris, several galleries took Dominic’s work, including Galerie Arcima, on
Rue St Jaques, Galerie Herouet, in the Marais, Galerie Etienne de Causans on rue
de Seine, or Galerie Mouvances, on Place des Vosges. Dominic participated in a
wildlife exhibition in Trocadero Center, and at the Hotel de Ville of Puteux. His
sculpture Madness, was chosen to be exhibited as a finalist at the Brain-Up
competition, in the Palais de Congres. This impressive sculpture, measuring 1m 60
is in the collection of the Hospital in Lille, and the Mandela Collection in Sandton
South Africa, among other collections.
In Poland, he had an exhibition in the Canadian Embassy Residence, in the
South African Embassy, and in the French Embassy. His work “Man with Pipe” is in
the collection of the Canadian Ambassador. His work “Portrait of Agnes” was
acquired by the South African Ambassador who, opened Dominic’s exhibition in
the Jagellonian University in Krakow, Holiday Inn, and in Galeria Mokotow, in
Warsaw. He had an exhibiton in the Warsaw Financial Center on Emili Platter
Street, and in the Sculpture Gallery on Jana Pawla street. Later, he exhibited in
the Gallery of the Polish War Museum on Krakowskie Przedmiescie, on Nowy
Swiat 44, in the Center of Promotion of Culture, Mazowieckie Center of Culture
and in the Jan Nowak Jezorianski Center. His work was showcased in the
Napiorkowska Gallery, Zapiecek Gallery on the square of the Old Town in Warsaw,
Hunters Gallery, and Warsaw Art Gallery in the Marriot Hotel, and sold on various
Auctions, such as Rempex, Agra Art, and Polswiss.
Back in South Africa, Dominic had much success among his native art
galleries, having his first major exhibition at the Mandela Square Gallery, in
Sandton. Art Galleries, hearing of his exhibitions in France, took his work, such as
the Cherie de Villiers Gallery, in the Mall, in Rosebank, and the Van den Berg
Gallery, in Potchefstroom. Dominic also took his work to the USA, where he
exhibited at the Modern Show in New York, and at the Dauphin Descours Gallery
on Madison Avenue, and the Yew Tree House Antiques Gallery in New York, as
well as the Geary Gallery, in Darion, and the Lions Gallery...

Plaster Sculpture Relief Art Deco Plaque WPA Artist Peace Swords to Ploughshares
By George Aarons
Located in Surfside, FL
Size includes wood mounting.
George Aarons (born Gregory Podubisky, in St. Petersburg, Russia, 1896 - died in Gloucester, Massachusetts 1980) was a distinguished sculptor who lived and taught in Gloucester, Massachusetts, for many years until his death in 1980. He had, many students in the area and he designed Gloucester's 350th Anniversary Commemorative Medal.
Aarons moved from Russia to the United States when he was ten. His father was a merchant. He began taking drawing classes during evenings at Dearborn Public School in Boston as a teenager and went on to study at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1916. Aarons later moved to New York City to study with Jo Davidson, and other Paris-trained masters at the Beaux-Arts Institute. He eventually returned to the Boston area and established studios in Brookline and Gloucester, Massachusetts. During his lifetime, he was recognized internationally and won several prestigious awards. Aarons had studios in Brookline, Massachusetts and Gloucester, Massachusetts where he produced large bronze and marble figures and wood carvings. He produced several projects for the Works Progress Administration including a group of three figures for the Public Garden (Boston), a longshoreman, fisherman and foundry worker, as well as a large relief (1938) for the South Boston Housing Project and façade of the Baltimore Hebrew Congregational Building (1956).
His works are at the Museum of Art in Ein Harod, Israel; Fitchburg Art Museum in Massachusetts, Musée de St. Denis in France; Hilles Library at Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts; and Hillel House at Boston University in Massachusetts.
He did reliefs for Siefer Hall at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts (1950); Edward Filene (the founder of Filene's Department Store and a philanthropist) on the Boston Common; Fireman's Memorial in Beverly, Massachusetts; a memorial to Mitchell Frieman in Boston; the U.S. Post Office in Ripley, Mississippi; and at the Cincinnati Telephone Building; the Combined Jewish Philanthropies building in Boston (1965); and a commemorative medal for the 350th Anniversary of the City of Gloucester, Massachusetts (1972).
Characteristic of his era, George Aarons was among the foreign-born American sculptors of the early 20th century who started their careers as academicians and evolved into modernists and increasingly abstract artists.
Over thirty pieces spanning the length of this sculptor's career were featured in this exhibition, including work in various medium bronze, wood and original plasters. Like his contemporaries, Aarons experimented with direct carving in wood, and he was one of the few academically trained sculptors who consistently cut his own works in marble. His early work was classically inspired figurative work, along with sensitive portraits. Some of his most powerful sculpture comes from his middle period, when he worked through his emotional pain following the global realization of the Jewish Holocaust. He depicted humanity deep anxiety over this tragedy with figures that are at once symbolically charged and movingly beautiful. Aarons late work consists of radically simplified forms that continue to reference the human form and often are carved directly in wood and stone.
Aarons summered and taught classes on Cape Ann for many years before moving to Gloucester full-time with his wife about 1950. While Aarons is best known locally for his domestic-scale works, he also executed numerous monumental, public commissions that can be found throughout the United States in cities such as Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, Maryland; and Cincinnati, Ohio; as well as in France and Israel.
As noted in a Gloucester Daily Times Article, Aarons wanted his sculptures to honor the struggles and nobility of people and rail against the evil done against them. And that was why, even as his work grew more and more abstract, stylized and simplified, he never left behind the form of the human figure that had been his focus from his earliest works.
Aarons told the Gloucester Daily Times in September 1954 that he found it hard to remember at just what age he started studying art, but he recalled that the nude model had to partially dress when he was in class because he was so young. He initially studied painting and drawing at the museum school, but he once said he became fascinated by sculpture when he met an established sculptor at the Copley Society in Boston who invited Aarons to his studio and offered him some clay to "play around" with.
After he graduated, he apprenticed under sculptors Richard Brooks, Robert Baker and Solon Borglum. He worked as a carpenter, shipbuilder, dishwasher and chimney sweep. He fashioned architectural decorations, including figures for fountains and now and then a few commissioned portraits. He returned to Boston by the early 1920s and began to exhibit his own works and get commissions for portraits, fountains and reliefs.
His sculptures from this time are dreamy and romantic in the realistic, academic style of the time. A painted portrait of the young Aarons that is included in the North Shore Arts Association exhibit shows a determined fellow with dark brown hair, a suit and bow tie. However, in 1922, this determined young artist was living with his parents on Calder Street in Dorchester.
In the 1930s, Aarons adopted the streamlined, monumental style of the socialist works of the time. Aarons made money, as he would all his life, from commissions, selling his personal work and teaching sculpture, but the Depression of the 1930s was tough for everyone.
So Aarons found work though the federal Works Progress Administration, one of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programs. He received his first major commission when he was asked to create a public sculpture for the South Boston Harbor Village public housing project around 1937. He was elevated to the position of supervisor for the project and received a corresponding $5 pay increase to make his weekly salary $32. The raise convinced him he was fit to marry and he proposed to Gertrude Band, an attractive brunette dancer whom he had been dating for more than a year. They were married before the Harbor Village project was dedicated on Labor Day 1938.
Aarons' design featured a brawny, larger-than-lifesize fisherman, longshoreman and a laborer flanked by a boy and girl at either end to portray the children who would live in the apartments. Aarons elected to do the piece in cast stone to employ carpenters and laborers as well as craftsman for a total of 10 men.
In his sculpture, Aarons focused more and more on the theme of oppressed people as he worried about the spread of fascism and Nazism during the 1930s, World War II and after. He had done pieces during the mid-1930s about the oppression of African-Americans, including "Negro Head," which is in the North Shore Art Association retrospective. After the war, he also delved into Jewish themes and became increasingly known as an important Jewish artist, leading to commissions from Jewish organizations across the country and abroad.
"He gets into raw emotion. Some people describe him as an expressionist because of the emotion (in his work)," Reynolds says.
But Aarons, also sculpted sensual sexual nudes...

Double Flapman
By Ernest Trova
Located in Boca Raton, FL
AP 2
Ernest Trova was an artist whose signature creation, a gleaming humanoid known as “Falling Man,” appeared in a series of sculptures and paintings and became a symbol of an imperfect humanity hurtling into the future. Mr. Trova was largely known as a sculptor, but his “Falling Man,” a standard of Pop Art, began life as a painted figure, taking shape on his easel in the early 1960s. Faceless, armless, with a hint of a belly and, its name notwithstanding, of indeterminate sex, the figure struck a variety of poses, sometimes juxtaposed with other like figures, sometimes with mechanical appendages.
In October 1963 his one-man show, “Falling Man Paintings,” was the inaugural exhibition of the Pace Gallery on West 57th Street in Manhattan; it sold out, with the works purchased by the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the architect Philip Johnson and others. In three dimensions, the “Falling Man” figure was made from different materials over the years — nickel and chrome-plated bronze, enamel on aluminum, stainless steel — and often, like the Oscar statuette, was polished to an industrial sheen. It was clearly a space age creation, a forerunner of C3PO, the golden robot in “Star Wars.”
“He found the space age both inspiring and dehumanizing,” Arne Glimcher, who founded the Pace Gallery, now PaceWildenstein, said in an interview on Friday. By the end of the 1960s, “Falling Man” had become Mr. Trova’s trademark, provoking Hilton Kramer, the art critic of The New York Times, to write that Mr. Trova had subjected his favorite figure “to almost as many variations as the Kama Sutra describes for the act of love.”
Ernest Tino Trova Jr. was born in St. Louis on Feb. 19, 1927. Shortly after his high school graduation his father, an industrial tool designer and inventor, died, and young Ernie, as he was known, went to work, most significantly as a window dresser for a department store.
