AUGUSTE MOREAU (France, 1834 - 1917)."Mother and daughter".Sculpture in patinated bronze.Signed on the base.Measurements: 56 x 27 x 25 cm.Graceful female figure in bronze together with a girl by her side, whose timeless beauty of classical inspiration and stylised canon is typical of the French sculptor Auguste Moreau. The son of the painter Jean Baptiste Moreau, Auguste began his training as a pupil of his older brother Mathurin. He made his debut at the Paris Salon of 1861, where he participated regularly until 1913. He was also a member of the Société des Artistes Français. His themes - genre, pastoral, allegorical scenes - and his style, realistic and graceful, link him to other members of the Moreau dynasty. He mainly produced bronzes, but also worked in marble and occasionally combined bronze and gold ("Victrix enfant", presented at the 1897 Salon). He produced numerous editions of his works, which were in great demand by the public both for their themes, which were very fashionable at the time, and for their naturalism and graceful beauty. Works by Auguste Moreau can be seen in the Museums of Fine Arts in Bordeaux, Dijon, Gray and Reims, as well as in private collections both in France and abroad (he was especially published in the United States).
EMILE LOUIS PICAULT (Paris, 1833 - 1915)."Le Devouement.Patinated bronze.Signed on the base.Measurements: 57 x 20 x 20 cm.Sculptor and medallist, Émile Louis Picault was a disciple of the Dutch sculptor Louis Royer. He developed his activity in Paris, and participated in the Salons des Artistes Français between 1863 and 1909. His success at the Salons brought him great recognition and his works were in great demand. His abundant oeuvre focused mainly on allegorical and literary themes, figures of warriors and mythological heroes, often accompanied by slogans in Latin or French. He also produced works inspired by the Modern Age, in the "art troubadour" style, worked in a style close to that of the neo-Florentines. His pieces have been the subject of numerous editions in bronze by prestigious firms such as Susse and Colin et Houdebine. Émile Picault is currently represented in the French museums of Orsay, Chambery, Clermont-Ferrard, Troyes and Mauberge, as well as in the Renfe Contemporary Sculpture collection.
SUSY GÓMEZ (Pollença, Mallorca, 1965)."The world for an instant...".CAM publisher, 2004.Bronze sculpture.Signed with initials.Size: 6 x 40 x 10 cm.Susy Gómez studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona and, after completing her training, held her first solo exhibition at the Norai gallery in her home town in 1987. Six years later, in 1993, her solo exhibition at the Miró Foundation in Barcelona caused great expectation. His work is characterised by great technical versatility, encompassing painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, video and installation. In 1995 she took part in the ARCO fair, achieving a success that led her to be included in important national and international group exhibitions, such as the Salón de los 16 of the same year. Since then she has held numerous personal exhibitions, both in Spanish cities and in Turin, Athens and Nice, where she showed her work at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. In 1999 he was awarded the Endesa Scholarship, and the following year the IVAM's Centre del Carmen dedicated its first retrospective to him. In his work we can find various proposals, which continue the tradition of post-minimalism, and which at the same time are linked to the most current aesthetics.
RUDOLF MARCUSE (Berlin, 1878 - London, 1929)."Junge Griechin, (1905).Sculpture in alabaster.Signed on the base.Size: 25 x 13 x 15 cm, 28 x 10 x 13 x 13 cm (with base).Rudolf Marcuse was a German sculptor of Jewish descent. Most of his works were designed for porcelain.His first professional lessons were at the Academy of Arts in Berlin with the sculptor Ernst Herter. In 1902, the Board of Trustees awarded him a scholarship. The following year, he was awarded the Michael Beer Prize for his "Judgement of Solomon". In 1909, he created one of his few major works, a monument to the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn at the Jewish Boys' School. It was destroyed in 1941 by members of the Sturmabteilung.In 1910, he received the "Prix de Rome" (inspired by the French Prix de Rome) from the Prussian Academy of Arts, which allowed him to stay at the Villa Strohl-Fern. In the same year, he won a gold medal at the Brussels International. During this period, he designed numerous statuettes in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, which were produced by the bronze caster, Hermann Gladenbeck. He also designed porcelain figurines for the Schwarzburg Porcelain Workshops, the Royal Porcelain Factory in Berlin and the Rosenthal Manufactory.During the First World War, he visited several prisoner-of-war camps, where he created thirty-seven sculptures depicting the various ethnic types and nationalities among the prisoners. These were intended to be placed in a proposed "Reichskriegsmuseum" (National War Museum), which was never completed.As late as 1930, it was receiving monetary awards from the Prussian Ministry of Culture. This ended abruptly in 1933, when the National Socialist Party came to power and began rejecting his applications because of his 'non-Aryan race'. In 1936, thanks to his status as a "War Artist", he was allowed to emigrate to England. He died at his home in London, aged sixty-two.

CLARE TUPMAN, British, Large sculpture of a crocodile, 250cm L. Notes: Clare Tupman, mother of 4, attended the Ruskin school of Fine Art in Oxford. Clare is a ranged artist who has worked with many forms of media though sculpting has always been her greatest passion. Originally Clare casted her statues from bronze, though she quickly felt constrained by the size and cost of the bronze casting process and looked for other paths to forge her creations. Clare learned to weld and has developed her own style of sculpting. She creates huge steel frameworks then cuts and welds small metal shards from sheets of stainless steel, binding them to form the contours and muscle structures of animals and figures. The final results are huge, beautiful structures of shimmering steel that seem to have a life of their own.
19th century Buddha figure.Gilded bronze.Measures: 14,5 x 10,5 x 9 cm.Round sculpture in bronze, from Thailand, dated 19th century. It represents Buddha seated in lotus flower position, with several "lakshana", iconographic symbols that identify the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. The first one we see is the headdress in a bun, a symbol of meditation, concentrated spiritual life and wisdom. Above the headdress, a flame symbolises the light of enlightenment. The eyelids are a symbol of spiritual concentration and also of purity, due to their similarity to the petals of the lotus, and complete a serene face with a sketched smile, symbolising the balance and serenity of a perfect being. The elongated earlobes allude to the large earrings worn by members of the upper classes in India at the time of Sakyamuni, and represent the concepts of greatness, nobility and wisdom.
Sculpture. Tibet, 19th century.Gilt bronze.Slight wear on the surface.It has a flower engraved on the base.Measurements: 19 x 13 x 12,5 cm.Round sculpture made in bronze representing a male figure seated on a pedestal, whose incised ornamentation invites us to remember the petals of the lotus flower in a schematic way. The work is notable for the roundness of the volume, which contrasts with the movement of the folds formed by the fabrics of the garment. The headdress and posture indicate that this is a representation of an important figure. Padmasambhava was probably the great Buddhist master of Uddiyana, in present-day Pakistan, who introduced Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century AD. He is sometimes depicted flanked by his two wives, the Bengali princess Mandarava and the Tibetan Yeshe Tshogyal.
