Description from the seller
This impressive octagonal Art Deco bas-relief is a high-quality reconstruction of the rare work ‘Satyr with a Flute,’ created after the French sculptor Marcel Bouraine (1886–1948). Bouraine was a leading artist within the Art Deco period and gained international fame for his elegant sculptures inspired by classical mythological themes. Although largely self-taught, he studied for a time under the renowned sculptor Jean-Alexandre-Joseph Falguière. From 1922 Bouraine exhibited at the prestigious Salon des Tuileries and other important Parisian salons. He also collaborated with leading art publishers such as Susse Frères, Etling, Max Le Verrier, and Arthur Goldscheider.
The original relief is known only from a historical photographic plate, published in the rare portfolio La Sculpture Décorative Moderne (Paris, 1925), an important publication documenting European decorative arts from 1920–1936. The original relief is considered lost and may have been destroyed during World War II.
The object offered at this auction has been designed and manufactured with the utmost care by Atelier Laurier Design. Based on the historical photograph, an extremely accurate reconstruction has been achieved, with every detail carefully modeled to reproduce the artistic quality and elegance of the original design as faithfully as possible. This reconstruction revives a lost work of art and makes it accessible to a new generation of art lovers and collectors.
The bas-relief is signed and numbered on the back. The accompanying certificate of provenance is also included. The relief is in excellent condition and will be carefully packaged and professionally shipped. The shipment is fully insured against loss or transport damage.
Dimensions: 45 x 45 x 4 cm
