{"title":"Pierre CHENET","description":"\u003cp\u003ePierre Chenet (20th century) is a French sculptor recognized for his exceptional work with bronze and his singular mastery of patina. Specializing in animal representation, he depicts bulls, bears, or felines with powerful and stylized lines. He is distinguished by a characteristic signature with a crown hot-stamped into the metal. His creations, with their pure forms and patinas in golden or copper shades, elegantly follow the great tradition of modern French sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"taureau-cubiste-bronze-pierre-chenet-art-deco","title":"Cubist Bronze Bull by Pierre Chenet (Circa 1970) The Modernist Heritage","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"13\"\u003eA Dialogue with the Masters of the 20th Century\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWhile Pierre Chenet follows in the footsteps of the great French art founders, his Cubist Bull is a vibrant homage to the plastic research of Pablo Picasso.

Unlike many of Chenet’s bronzes, which can be quite dark, this one possesses golden-bronze highlights that illuminate the moment a ray of sunlight touches it. It is a lively, highly graphic piece.
