About the Item

This striking Art Deco bronze statue, titled "Le Bendeur", was sculpted by Jean de Roncourt in France, circa 1930. A masterful representation of Art Deco style, the statue captures the raw strength and elegance of the human form in a way that embodies the era's fascination with athleticism, industrial progress, and streamlined design. The sculpture depicts a man bending metal, a scene that symbolizes both physical power and the triumph of human ingenuity over material. The figure exhibits highly realistic musculature, with clean lines and angular contours that align perfectly with the geometric and modernist aesthetic of Art Deco. The poised, concentrated motion portrayed in the piece conveys energy and purpose, making it as much a narrative of labor and resilience as a work of art. Rendered in patinated bronze, the statue boasts an exquisite finish with a deep, warm tone that highlights the intricate detail of Roncourt's craftsmanship. The surface catches light beautifully, emphasizing the tension and texture in the figure's musculature and the dynamic folds of his posture. The statue rests on an elegant marble base which grounds the composition and further enhances its timeless appeal. A signature piece of Roncourt’s oeuvre, "Le Bendeur" serves as both a decorative object and a celebration of human strength, ideal for Art Deco collectors or enthusiasts of classic European sculpture. Whether displayed in a living room, study, or office, this piece makes a powerful statement through its unique blend of artistry, history, and craftsmanship. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
