Scultura in metallo

Esistono due famiglie di metalli: ferrosi e non ferrosi. Tutti i metalli ferrosi contengono ferro. I metalli non ferrosi comprendono alluminio, zinco e rame e le sue leghe, ad esempio il bronzo.

I metalli possono essere martellati senza romperli o spezzarli per modellarli, possono anche essere fusi ed utilizzati negli stampi o trasformati in fili e modellarli - questo li rende un supporto ideale con cui lavorare per gli scultori.

L'uso del bronzo per realizzare la scultura è molto antico, eg il bronzo è forse il metallo più tradizionalmente pensato come mezzo scultoreo.

Seward Johnson, 1930

J. Seward Johnson, Jr. is an american artist known for his trompe l'oeil painted bronze statues, and a grandson of Robert Wood Johnson I, co-founder of Johnson and Johnson. He is best known for his life-size bronze statues, which actually are castings of living people of all ages depicting them engaged in day-to-day activities.

A large staff of technicians perform the fabrication.
Johnson was born in New Jersey.

His father was John Seward Johnson I, and his mother was Ruth Dill, the sister of actress Diana Dill, therefore making him a first cousin of actor Michael Douglas. Johnson grew up with five siblings: Mary Lea Johnson Richards, Elaine Johnson, Diana Melville Johnson, Jennifer Underwood Johnson, and James Loring "Jimmy" Johnson.

His parents divorced around 1937, and his father remarried two years later, producing his only brother Jimmy Johnson, making him an uncle to film director Jamie Johnson. Johnson attended Forman School for dyslexics and University of Maine, where he majored in poultry husbandry, but did not graduate. Johnson also served four years in the Navy during the Korean War.

Edgar Degas | Sulking, 1870

Two well-known personalities in the art world, the writer Edmond Duranty and model Emma Dobigny, posed for this early genre scene by Degas, set in an office, possibly a small bank.

From the faithfully copied British racing print to the stylishly attired female protagonist, it recalls the work of fellow artist James Tissot.
