This striking bronze sculpture, \"Paloma\" (Spanish for \"dove\"), is a masterwork by Juan Soriano (1920-2006), the visionary known as the \u201cMozart of Mexican Painting.\u201d Cast in 2002 and signed by Soriano himself, \"Paloma\" embodies the artist\u2019s lifelong obsession with transforming myths and emotions into timeless forms. With sleek, fluid lines and a dynamic, almost weightless silhouette, the piece captures the proud standing dove as a universal emblem of freedom and hope.<\/p>\n
Style & Symbolism: Soriano\u2019s genius lies in his fusion of abstraction and lyricism. Here, he strips the dove to its essence: wings curve like calligraphy, while the body balances tension and grace. Is it a prayer for peace? A rebellion against rigidity? Soriano leaves it open, inviting you to project your own story.<\/p>\n
Crafted for Eternity: Made in lustrous bronze, this sculpture\u2019s patina deepens with time, ensuring it evolves alongside your space. A smaller version of the monument that can be admired at the entrance of the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (MARCO) in Monterrey or the Malec\u00f3n of La Paz in Baja California, it commands attention as a statement piece for modern interiors or a sacred accent in traditional collections.<\/p>\n
Provenance & Pedigree:
\n- Verified authentic in September 2022 by Marek Keller, director of the Fundaci\u00f3n Juan Soriano y Marek Keller A.C.
\n- Provenance traces to Mexico City\u2019s prestigious Morton Auction House, guaranteeing its elite heritage.<\/p>\n
Juan Soriano was a titan of Mexico\u2019s Ruptura movement, defying political art to champion personal expression. His works reside in MoMA, Museo Reina Sof\u00eda, and private collections of icons like Julio Cort\u00e1zar. \"Paloma\" is a slice of 20th-century art rebellion, radiating Soriano\u2019s belief that \u201cart should be a risk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sculptures in this immaculate condition rarely surface. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned collector or a rebel at heart, \"Paloma\" is both a great investment, as well as a legacy. Ready to let this dove take its place in your home?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
