Jacques Lipchitz

Study for Bull and Condor , 1964

Ink and gouache on Paper (Framed)
15 1/2 × 13 1/2 inches
Unique
Hand signed on the front
 

This work is from the Collection of renowned art dealers Helena and Ladislav Segy, who were also close friends of Lipchitz. This work is a study for the sculpture "Bull and Condor", a maquette that is now in the permanent collection of the Tate Gallery. According to the Tate, "The poet Juan Larrea told Lipchitz about fiestas in Peru where a condor is bound to a bull so that they fight. Lipchitz said that he heard the story at a time when he was profoundly depressed by the rise of Nazism, and that: 'the bull and the condor, and particularly the human beings who delighted in their struggle, signified the insane brutality of the world.' The rough handling of this maquette embodies the violence of its subject. Although he acknowledged its potential, Lipchitz never made a larger-scale work on this theme."
