"Predatory" lot: a bronze sculpture of a tiger was sold at Violity
Sculptures made of bronze are always large-scale, laconic and thorough. Such products are always aimed at creating the impression of determination, dynamics, strength. That is why they are of interest among collectors.
Sold lot - bronze sculpture of a tiger. All elements of the product are worked out in great detail - tight muscle knots, a proud turn of the head, a sharp look. Expressiveness and solidity are embodied in the form of this sculpture.
Ideological themes prevailed in the "bronze" art of the USSR. But images of animals were strikingly out of this list. This was especially true of sculptures of horses, deer and, of course, representatives of the cat family - lions, panthers, tigers. Soviet sculptors managed to depict them with incredible realism.
Bronze animal sculptures in the USSR were in great demand. They were presented as souvenirs: they could be found both in the offices of party workers and at home. The restraint of bronze, laconicism and thematic monumentality fit perfectly into the strict interiors.
The originality of the products of Soviet sculptors was achieved due to the realism of the details, the careful selection and processing of metal. And restrained shimmer, without unnecessary pretentiousness of forms and color variety, gave the products a classic beauty.
Today it is difficult to understand what the masters of the past were inspired by, creating animals from bronze. Including the tiger sold at Violiti. But through their works, you can feel this inspiration even after decades.
