Raymond Leon Rivoire (French, 1884-1966)An important large bronze bust of 'Neptune'depicted as the head of the young sea god with stylised wavy hair adorned by a pendant shell hung bandeau at the hairline, signed to one side R. Rivoire, dark brown patination, 52cm (20in) high. Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate French collection, by repute the bust originally commissioned by a wealthy patron directly from the sculptor.The sculptor Raymond Rivoire won a gold medal at the salon of 1929, leading to his most important commission and a milestone of the Art Deco era, the colossal marine group 'The God Neptune drawn by a sea horse', for the luxurious and stylish French ocean liner SS Normandie launched in 1932. This sculpture was itself a pendant to his work 'The Goddess Artemis and her greyhound' commissioned for an earlier French Art Deco ship SS Transatlantique launched in 1925 which was subsequently reproduced as scale editions in bronze in the late 1920s.Although the lavish interiors of the Normandie incorporating Rivoire's work were destroyed by fire during a US requisition refit to turn the ship into a troop carrier in New York in 1942, the present head which which is derived from Rivoire's original group, was apparently a special commission for a wealthy client living in Monaco in the early 1930s. The sculptor also produced a second version of the full group, which survives to the present day as a centrepiece of the fountain adjacent to the Reynaldo Hahn Square in the gardens of the Croisette in Cannes.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Dans ses peintures, qui rappellent l'architecture pharaonique abstraite en employant les matériaux traditionnels des anciens - tempera sur papyrus. Ses sculptures puissantes s'appuient sur les éléments des arts pharaoniques vus dans l'œuvre de Mokhtar, les combinant avec l'abstraction de maîtres modernes tels que Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore pour produire un style élégant et cohérent. Diplômé de l'Académie des Beaux-Arts du Caire en 1953, il reçoit une bourse qui lui permet de passer deux ans près de Thèbes, à étudier les peintures des tombes pharaoniques. C'est à cette époque qu'il observe et expérimente la vie dans les villages de la Haute-Égypte, qui deviendront bientôt un des thèmes principaux de ses projets. Là-bas, il sera à l’initiative d’un FIAée en plein air et du Symposium international de sculpture d'Assouan, réputé dans le monde entier.
