About the Item

A refined mid-century abstract bronze sculpture by Eduardo (Edward Arcenio) Chavez (1917–1995), titled Chama and created circa 1966. Cast in bronze and presented on its original wooden base, the sculpture demonstrates Chavez’s sophisticated approach to organic form, abstraction and modernist design. The fluid, sculptural composition combines gently curved and angular forms into a balanced arrangement that changes character from every viewpoint. Its warm bronze surface and compact scale give the work an intimate yet commanding presence, making it particularly effective as a tabletop sculpture, desk sculpture or small-scale modernist centerpiece. Born in Wagon Mound, New Mexico, Chavez was a versatile American artist whose career encompassed sculpture, mural painting, illustration, lithography and painting. He studied at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, where he worked with influential artists including Boardman Robinson and Frank Mechau. His early career included mural commissions throughout the American West before his service during World War II. After the war, Chavez and his wife, painter Jenne Magafan, became part of the vibrant postwar art community in Woodstock, New York. He went on to receive a Tiffany Grant in 1948, a Fulbright Award in 1951 and the Childe Hassam Award in 1953. He was also a member of the Woodstock Art Association, the National Academy of Design and the National Society of Mural Painters, and taught at the Art Students League of New York, Colorado College and Syracuse University. Chama is an especially appealing example of Chavez’s American modernist sculpture, bringing together his Southwestern background with the formal experimentation of mid-century American abstraction.

Eugene Caples "Bronze Sculpture II" Abstract Bronze Sculpture

By Eugene Caples

Located in Detroit, MI

This small exquisite "Bronze Sculpture II" is in excellent condition and a perfect example of Eugene Caples craftsmanship. This is mainly abstract with some graphic or architectural elements and is so delightful that mythical creatures demand to be considered. It cries out to be touched and held, looked at and caressed. The beautiful patina on the surface gives voice to the many hands that have done these things. Eugene Caples is a designer and craftsman who worked in Kansas City in the 1960s and later through the early 21st century. He attended the Kansas City Art Institute, earning his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Industrial Design in 1959. In 1963 he was accepted to Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
