Armand Petersen (1891-1969) - Lot 173
Armand Petersen (1891-1969) Antelope, round back Model created in 1928 Bronze with shaded light-brown patina Signed "A PETERSEN BRANDSTETTER MUNCHEN" foundry mark H. 23 cm x terrace 13.2 x 6.7 cm, on wooden base H. 7.5 cm After a brief stay in Paris in 1914, Armand Petersen joined the studio of sculptor Bêla Markup in Budapest. Here, in addition to learning to model, he received perhaps the most important lesson for his future creation: the discovery of animal art and the observation of live models in the Hungarian capital's zoological park. He never ceased to perfect his work, always striving for elegance and purity of line. Ornamentation is eschewed in order to render ever more forcefully anatomical truth, as well as the beauty of movement and attitude.
