BRUNO ZACH (1891 – 1945): A GOLD PATINATED BRONZE FIGURE ‘THE RIDING CROP’ the scantily clad female, holding a riding crop behind her back, mounted on a stepped circular marble column, signed ‘Zach 33,5cm high PROVENANCE: Artemis Decorative Arts, Church Street Kensington London c. Bryan Catley p.305 In a time of rapid change, Art Nouveau flourished, benefiting from the emergence of new media such as film and photography which promoted alternative ways of seeing the world. The moral landscape of Europe and America had begun to shift, and artists and designers used the erotic to broaden the boundaries of established convention and taste. The risqué, and often explicit content is one of the most striking features of the style. Seen in small-scale sculptural and functional decorative arts objects such as ink-wells, carafes, centerpieces, candelabras, lamps and figurines, where designers manipulated and objectified the female form, creating frivolous and alluring symbolic narratives. These items captured the attention of not only the aristocratic collectors, but also the working class, offering a means of bringing modernity into their homes. Designers not only aimed to sell the promise of sexual fulfillment to a male audience, but significantly, they were selling the idea of a sophisticated and glamorous identity to women who had emerged as the dominant consumers of culture. Although the exploration of sexuality had deliberately been pushed to the periphery of art and design debates, it could not be entirely eradicated. The resurgence of the erotic within the realms of surrealism, and further movements, demonstrated the power of the erotic to explore the relation between body and mind, high and low culture and the enduring fascination with the human form.

THEODORE RIVIERE (1857 – 1912): CARTHAGE, PATINATED GILT BRONZE SCULPTURE depicting Mathô, the chief of the Barbarian soldiers, dying at the feet of Salammbô, signed THEODORE RIVIERE, CARTHAGE, inscribed Susse Fres Edtr with stamp Susse Freres Editeurs Paris 41cm high Théodore Rivière was one of the leading Orientalist sculptors. He not only drew on literary texts but travelled extensively in North Africa, the Far East and South America. The subject of this work was taken from Gustave Flaubert’s novel, Salammbô, published in 1862. The story takes place between 241–238 BC, during the revolt of Carthage. The Libyan chief Mâthô, fell in love with the priestess Salammbô, the daughter of his Carthaginian enemy Hamilcar Barca. Rivière has chosen the moment when, mortally wounded by the people, Mâthô dies at the feet of Salammbô claiming “I love you! I love you!” The figure of Salammbô, the femme fatale swathed in jewels, inspired many other Symbolist artists. The statuette created a sensation at the Salon of 1895. A bronze and ivory version is housed in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.
