Art Bronze by ?

Long shot question but who has some names off artists who could be the maker off this sculpture ? Looks unsigned but there's a lot off patina so maybe hidden . So any idea's please ? Thanks

 

I like it, but I'm having a difficult time getting a sense of how it actually looks... not getting a sense of intentional form. Maybe a bit of foundry scrap? Found art?

I'm sure this is piece where being able to handle it and to see it in its entirety makes all the difference.

 

You mean it may not be a teratoma?

 

In the bottom photo it looks like pieces were brazed together.

 

art for arts sake.......looks like foundry cast offs stuck together......???

 

Yes, that last photo does look like brazing. I think Komo might have it.

 

Here's some other pictures off the bronze . To me it looks like a sculpture pressed in to make a point . The patina looks to me as being at least older patina so could be having some age .The difficult thing would be to unfold the bronze (in the mind only please ) to know what the first state was off the bronze before this condition.

 

Unfold? It looks like at least 5 separate pieces brazed together.

 

U 2 !!!

 

But no names yet ? To me if brazing has been done that it would be made with a meaning . Lost leftover pieces made together makes no logical reason I think . And i think it maybe could be design made together to use as a example off bigger to make piece ?

 

If it looks interesting, that's enough reason. If some foundry worker put it together for his own amusement, it need not have a signature. Think in terms of end-of-day work. It's a possibility.

 

I think that a good point to know would be the age off the bronze based on the patina . That would maybe link it to artists if made by one . After that if a artist would by found who could be the maker a chemical analyse off the bronze could prove the artist and his used bronze in compare . (long sentence )

And it looks a bit like this way off casting little maybe ?

 

A preliminary model is called a maquette. They're not usually made in bronze. The casting is a final step. A maquette can be cast in bronze but that would not be done on a trial and error basis. Casting is expensive and you want the details worked out in advance.

This is from the Tate description of Henry Moore's "Atom Piece" recently mention in another thread:

[The] original maquette (only about five or six inches high) was never properly photographed and has since been destroyed’. That same year the art historian Albert Elsen also recorded that the maquette for Atom Piece had been ‘broken and lost’ [1967]. In 1970 Moore cast Maquette for Atom Piece 1964–70 in a bronze edition of thirteen.

(I believe the maquette referred to in that passage is the meter+ plaster model from 1970.)

 

Thanks for the link and interesting to read . And whatever my bronze is it's giving a lot off fun founding out the origin's . If there are off course . And there's more artists who made also bronzes where the compositions are only known by them .
