About the Item
MARCEL-ANDRÉ BOURAINE
French, active 1918-1935
"Playtime"
Lost-wax cast and verde patinated bronze signed in cast "M. BOURAINE", the base edge "Susse Frs. Edts Paris", "cire purdue" and foundry cachet for Susse verso cast circa 1930
Item # 408HIK27W
A very finely cast example after Bouraine's model of La Recréation edited by Susse in the 1930s, the present cast remains in exquisite original condition with its vibrant and emerald-like verde patination positively glowing like a jewel. The endearing scene captures a mother teasing her son, pulling him forward by his hand while he is obviously playing hard to get. Naturalistic and stylistically reminiscent of the treatment of mythological subjects, the woman and her son are portrayed in a dreamlike state that defies any specific era: both could exist in this present moment as easily as a thousand years before.
Executed using the lost-wax method, the details in the subject are captured directly from the wax model from which the bronze was cast by Susse. Positively brilliant in execution and composition.
A terracotta example of the model is pictured in Alberto Shayo's landmark reference work Statuettes of the Art Deco Period (p. 61).
Measurements: 14 1/2" H x 21 7/8" W x 8 5/8" D
Condition Report:
Exquisite original condition. Very minor handling wear including to her proper left shoulder and knee, the strands of the boy's hair; a naturally patinated scuff to her shouldblade verso, . Carefully cleaned and sealed in conservator's wax. A very fine presentation, ready to place.

View AllRare Art Deco Bronze Sculpture “Mischievous” by Paul Philippe
Located in Shippensburg, PA
An exquisite and rare example of Paul Philippe's Mischievous finished in a brilliant polychromed gilt, the young woman grabs her reddish-brown hair in hand while looking off into the corner with a sly look in her eyes that suggests she holds a secret that we will never know. The base signature is captured directly from the mold. Situated over its original faceted base. A very fine work.
ARTIST
Born in Thorn in Poland in 1870, Paul Philippe studied under Antonin Larroux at the École des Beaux-Arts after moving to Paris, France around 1900. He exhibited extensively at all of the major French salons and developed his own voice in sculpture by focusing his ouevre around the movement of the female body, often depicting exotic models in highly theatrical poses with a loose adherence to realism in his idealized visions. He walked a fine line between Art Nouveau and Art Deco while his figures do tend towards the latter. He executed figures in bronze and chryselephantine and worked with some of the best foundries in France and Germany. Many examples of his work are held in the Art Deco Museum in Moscow, Russia.
