I found this below quite by chance about a pupil of Henry Moore called Ola Cohn; depressing is it not! She was quite a pioneer for Australian sculpture too. I hope Chris will look kindly at her for his list of 20c sculptors. The winning of a scholarship allowed her another year but by October […]

Mark Coreth
An old soldier, younger than me and a sculptor too, has followed Hannibal’s example and marched an elephant over the Alps. Mark’s elephant was a bronze life size one though and far from being a Trojan horse it is now being admired for a very different reason in Rome. Mark is exhibiting some smaller things […]
“The American” Sculpture
“Tulsa is the best kept secret in the heartland”. What news on this project? Will the credit crunch affect the time scale? Is bronze the best material for a work that size? 60 feet taller than the Statue Of Liberty; Good luck Shan Gray. http://www.theamerican.com/home/index.cfm?&Flash=1 http://theamerican.com/9/resources/TulsaWorld_6.pdf http://www.individual.com/story.php?story=90293120

Contemporary Sculpture
On the subject of contemporary art, I have seen this work and liked it. The foundry told me it was extremely difficult to do. The outside of the shell is highly burnished; you can see your face in it! This clearly illustrates just how versitile bronze can be. Some of those figures on Philip Jackson’s […]
Sculpture is the Be All And End All in Visual Art. Official.
Did you spot the Sculpture Diaries on TV this evening? Waldemar Januszczak Art critic of Channel Four, sets out to prove that sculpture is the single most important subject in Visual Art. He is right of course, I look forward to the next two episodes. As an aside though; he did bring up some stuff […]
Grave
Ummm…see comments on the last post but one to see why I added this.
Top of all sculpture?
I hope that one day someone will be able and willing to tell the world a little more about this work. Technically it is amazing what ever size it is; carved marble! Now think about that and send Michelangelo back to school. Aesthetically it would be difficult to better; certainly not a classical pose and […]
Terra Cotta
Early work by Who? Rodin! I am keen to find a good example of two images of a terra cotta bust of similar ilk as these two, in an effort to compare media. The first is ‘Flora’ by C-Belleuse , two different versions. Marble The second is Mlle Vuillier by Aime-Jules Dalou , same work […]
Please buy a flower, sculpture oriental?
ed The Flower Seller – Jeune Fille de Bou Saada by Louis–Ernst Barrias 1841-1904 The first one is in Ivory, bronze, wood and mother of pearl and is small at 33cm x 27cm. The second is in bronze size unknown and the last in I guessed terra cotta, but if it is plaster as Ian […]
