Kurt Arentz: Sculpture 'Dove of Peace', bronze

Product information "Kurt Arentz: Sculpture 'Dove of Peace', bronze"

Kurt Arentz's works are neither true-to-life representations nor ingenious abstractions, which is precisely why they achieve the greatest expressive power. The artist penetrates to the actual essence, to the species-typical nature of each modelled animal. This also applies to the symbol of world peace, his dove of peace, which is per se both a symbol and an animal. The artist, who experienced the war as a child, provides it with the abstract peace attribute of the globe, but at the same time leaves the bird's naturalistic form (moulded in his artistic handwriting). Sculpture made of fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, patinated by hand and partially gilded. Black diabase base. Limited edition of 499 pieces, numbered and signed. Exclusively at ars mundi. Format 20 x 26 x 19 cm (W/H/D), base format 8 x 8 x 8 cm (W/H/D). Weight 4 kg.
Artist: Kurt Arentz
