Description
Beautiful brass art deco sculpture entitled "Entwined Cranes", circa 1960. Unsigned. Sculptor and graphic artist Boris Lovet-Lorski (1894-1973) was born in Lithuania. He studied at the Imperial Academy of Art in St. Petersburg and moved to the United States in 1920, settling in New York City. He became an American citizen in 1925. Boris Lovet-Lorski's sculpted heads have been described as sensitive, idealized and classically stylized with simplified, atmospheric forms and staring, pupil-less eyes, that yet capture the individual look and feeling of the sitter. Some viewers perceive an Egyptian influence. The sculptor is noted for bronze female figures with impossibly narrow, boyish hips, and bodies broadening as they rise to the shoulders and wide-spread arms held behind their heads like flowers on a stem. These women were created by the artist to be mechanized, gleaming and streamlined like the latest airplanes, motorcars and other machines worshiped by 20th-Century technology and finding particular expression in Art Deco.Size: 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 x 62 in.
