About the Item

ANTONIUCCI VOLTI "RECLINGING WOMAN" BRONZE, SIGNED, NUMBERED 2/6 VALSUANI FOUNDRY ITALiAN, WORKED IN PARIS, C.1960 6.5 X 18.5 X 10.5 INCHES Antoniucci Volti 1915-1989 Sculptor, painter, and printmaker Antoniucci Volti was born in Albano, Italy, in 1915. His family lived in Italy until 1920 when the family moved to France. Volti studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Nice from 1928 to 1920. By 1932 the young artist had won a gold medal for two polychrome bas-reliefs before going to Paris, where he entered the studio of Jean Boucher at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris at the age of only fifteen. After serving in the Second World War, when he was interned as a prisoner of war in Bavaria, he returned in poor health to Paris, only to find his studio destroyed. From 1947 he showed work at various Paris Salons and, in 1954 and 1955 at the Brussels and Antwerp Biennales. In 1957 a retrospective of his work was organized at the Museum Rodin in Paris. He died in Paris in 1989 Works by Volti are in leading museums such as the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris. Antoniucci Volti is one of the most important Late Modern sculptors to have worked figuratively in the 20th century, thus ensuring the continuity of the humanist tradition.

  • Solid Bronze 20th Century Nude Ballet Dancer 'Stepping Stones' by Benson Landes
    By Benson Landes
    Located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire
    'Stepping Stones' by Benson Landes is a Solid Bronze 20th Century Nude Ballet Dancer - she is so light on her feet and beautifully elegant. For Benson Landes, sculpture was most definitely a passion. His oeuvre of cast bronzes is populated with ‘off duty’ ballet dancers, rather wistful women, often caught in moments of solitary repose. Such an obvious appreciation of the grace and elegance of the female form was, no doubt, heightened by 25 years spent in the couture business, which Benson entered at the age of 14. The sculptor admitted that his time as an apprentice at his father’s clothing...

  • 'Circe' The Goddess of Magic - Life-size Solid Bronze Nude Figure by Carl Payne
    By Carl Payne
    Located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire
    'Circe' was inspired around Greek Myth involving the Goddess of Magic. The sculpture is a stunning Life-size Solid Bronze Nude Figure by Carl Payne. Art has played a large part in Carl's academic work taking through Burslem School of Art, the Henry Doulton School of Sculpture and to Stafford College. After qualifying in Figurative Sculpture he launched his career with commission after commission, which has now secured his reputation for fine quality workmanship both in life-size format and smaller decorative pieces. The list of his completed commissioned work is extensive, including many house-hold names from the sporting world, commerce and the part. A half life size figure of The Duke of Westminster, a full life size bronze of Stanley Matthews and George Best to name a few. Carl recently won the commission to sculpt the full size horse...

  • Contemporary Solid Bronze sculpture of a ballerina 'Tutu' by Benson Landes
    By Benson Landes
    Located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire
    'Tutu' is a beautiful sculpture of a ballerina leaning 'en barre'. The elegance and grace of the ballerina is perfectly depicted in the sculpture. Benson's theme is predominately the wonderful world of ballet and dancers, although some are beautiful ladies in quiet repose and elegance. Such an obvious appreciation of the grace and elegance of the female form was, no doubt, heightened by a lifetime spent in the couture business, which Benson entered at the age of 14. Benson succeeded in selling some of his first pieces of sculpture, a collection of sporting trophies...
