Important Art Deco Bronze Sculpture By Georges-henri Laurent (1880–1940), Depicting Two Birds
This significant Art Deco bronze sculpture depicts two cranes captured in naturalistic and elegant poses.
One of the cranes is shown leaning forward, its long neck stretched toward the ground as if searching for food or drinking.
The second stands more upright, its wing spread in a movement of great geometric fluidity characteristic of the period.
The rendering of the plumage alternates between smooth surfaces and stylized incisions that beautifully capture the light.
The material features a superb multicolored patina with subtle, golden-brown hues.
The sculpture rests on its original rectangular pedestal carved from precious black Portor marble veined with gold.
The balance of the composition attests to the sculptor’s absolute mastery of the art of animal stylization in the 1920s. Technical Specifications and References:
