Art Deco Bronze Statue of Man Pulling Boat Sculpture

1930

About the Item

An Art Deco bronze sculpture of a man gripping a rope and pulling a rowboat ashore. It is a strong and unusual image, in contrast to the many images of men throwing spears or bending steel. This sculpture uses a section of the boat divided by a length of twisted cable to create the dynamic tension between the subject and object. The metalwork lends a dappled quality to the patina and is mounted on a black marble base. For the past 15 years, I've been a 1stDibs Furniture dealer with Platinum status. We've always sold fine art on this "furniture" platform and have recently started selling our Art Deco Fine Art here on 1stDibs in addition to our Furniture platform.

    Located in Oakland, CA
    Lucien Alliot French Art Deco Bronze The Gazelles 1930. The brown patina on a marble base signed on the bronze L Alliot and stamped bronze on the deer. This particular piece has exceptional rhythm where the two gazelles interplay in a movement depicting leaping over the hills or water—very three-dimensional treatment showing the movement of the animals. Lucien Charles Eduoard Alliot (1877-1967), the sculptor, was born in 1877 in Paris, France. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, was a member and the gold medal in 1920, out of competition, and was a member of the sculpture jury from 1934 to 1939. Alliot was well known for his figurative sculptures, which were exhibited for many years at the Salon de Paris. He received a third-place award in 1907 (which included funds for travel expenses) and a first-place award l in 1920. After he declared himself out of the artistic competition, he became a jury member at the Salon evaluating sculptural works from 1934 to 1939. Alliot created several allegorical groups: La Paix in 1939, and several religious illustrations: Sacré Cœur in 1924, La Vierge Marie...
