"Victor Riding His Mount, " Rare Art Deco Sculpture by GyöRgy Zala

About the Item

Famous for his design of Heroes Square in Budapest, including the sculpting of several monumental bronze figures atop the central column and framing piers, Gyo¨rgy Zala was one of Hungary's most important sculptors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This depiction of the victor holding aloft his laurel wreath is simpler and more stylized than his earlier work, suggesting that it was sculpted in the 1920s or 1930s not long before he died. The piece is marked with Zala's monogram, and is handsomely mounted on its original, high marble base.

  • Rare Art Deco Bronze Sculpture “Mischievous” by Paul Philippe
    Located in Shippensburg, PA
    PAUL PHILIPPE Polish/French, 1870-1930 "Mischievous" Polychromed gilt bronze over original marble base signed in cast "P. PHILIPPE" signed in cast "i9.R / France" with foundry seal of A.G. Paris Item # 212MPH15S An exquisite and rare example of Paul Philippe's Mischievous finished in a brilliant polychromed gilt, the young woman grabs her reddish-brown hair in hand while looking off into the corner with a sly look in her eyes that suggests she holds a secret that we will never know. The base signature is captured directly from the mold. Situated over its original faceted base. A very fine work. ARTIST Born in Thorn in Poland in 1870, Paul Philippe studied under Antonin Larroux at the École des Beaux-Arts after moving to Paris, France around 1900. He exhibited extensively at all of the major French salons and developed his own voice in sculpture by focusing his ouevre around the movement of the female body, often depicting exotic models in highly theatrical poses with a loose adherence to realism in his idealized visions. He walked a fine line between Art Nouveau and Art Deco while his figures do tend towards the latter. He executed figures in bronze and chryselephantine and worked with some of the best foundries in France and Germany. Many examples of his work are held in the Art Deco Museum in Moscow, Russia.
