Bronze “the Sower” By A. Kelety, Art Deco - 1930

Beautiful and large bronze sculpture by Alexandre Kelety, benefiting from a harmonious green patina, depicting an athletic man sowing seeds across fields. Absorbed by his task, his muscles tense with effort, the man is in motion. He is dressed only in pants and a cloth tied around his waist to store seeds. The sculpture rests on sea green marble where the artist's signature made at the tip appears discreetly. Charismatic and delicately crafted, this Art Deco bronze will easily find its place in your interior. Alexandre Kelety (1874-1940) is a Hungarian sculptor, born in Budapest. He studied under the direction of Imre Karoly Simay (1874-1955), a famous sculptor and painter in Hungary. Kelety emigrated to France after the First World War. His sculptures were presented at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925. He also exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Decorateurs in 1927. ******** Period: 1930 Excellent condition.
