Daniel Albert Harris
Mid Century Bronze Sculpture -- Poseidon's Fury

1968

About the Item

A rare sculpture by Daniel Albert Harris (aka: Zev- the Wolf) (1914-1986) c. 1968 A substantial and stunning bronze sculpture of Poseidon (or Neptune) riding on a shell driven by horses in the wave. This bronze piece has a brutalist Picasso-esque feel to it giving it a very avant garde look that deserves pride of place on a console table or as a centerpiece in a residence or office setting. Dimensions: 20"H x 27"W x 14" D. Weight: 30 pounds. Born Daniel Harris and adopting the name of Zev, he studied at the Masters Institute of the Roerich Museum in Hungary, in New York City at the National Academy of Design, and at New York University, where he also taught for two years. His artistic talents were discovered by Grace McCann Morley of California in the early 1940's, and she invited him to exhibit in the Abstract & Surrealist Art in America exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1944. Harris changed his name to ZEV, which means 'Wolf' in Hungarian, when he moved to Europe in 1953. He first went to Paris, then Spain where he created huge sculptures for a villa in Spain, and then Rome.
