Description
Featured in this lot is this bronze sculpture called "Paul's Bull," circa 1983 from Montana artist Bob Scriver born in 1914 and died in 1999. The bronze sculpture features a wonderfully and professionally crafted bronze construction that shows a bull buffalo lying down on a bronze and hardwood base. The bronze is marked: "Paul's Bull," - Bob Scriver - 1983 - 291/1000. was a Montana sculptor who was born on the Blackfeet reservation of Anglophone Quebec parents. He specialized in western subjects, but it is more accurate to associate him with the American Beaux Arts-educated sculptors who became prominent at the turn of the 19th century. His first efforts were small inexpensive souvenir wildlife figurines cast in plaster and air-brushed in natural colors. A parallel career in taxidermy and a fondness for hunting supported the increasingly accurate portrayals of these animals. Bob Scriver was an elected member in both the Cowboy Artists of America organization and the National Academy of Western Art. He was a member of the Salmagundi Club and was accepted for membership in the National Sculpture Society. Scriver created heroic sculptures in Montana of the expedition of Lewis and Clark, and in Wyoming of the legendary Buffalo Bill. His Cowboy works include a heroic work of Bill Linderman at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma and his "Rodeo In Bronze" series, one of four belonging to the Devonian Institute in Canada. The condition of this Bob Scriver bronze is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this bronze is 3 3/4" x 7" x 4".
