Raymond Duchamp-Villon (1876-1918), Petit Cheval, 1911, a Cubist black patinated bronze model of a standing horse mounted on an integral plinth base, signed and dated to the plinth 29 x 34 x 14cm It is tempting to believe that Raymond Duchamp-Villon (born Pierre-Maurice-Raymond Duchamp) was predestined to become an artist – his maternal grandfather was the noted painted and engraver, Émile Frédéric Nicolle, and three of his five siblings, Marcel Duchamp, Jacques Villon and Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti all forged successful careers as artists. Duchamp-Villon, however, had early ambitions to become a doctor and spent several years studying for his degree at the Sorbonne before a crippling bout of rheumatic fever forced him, in 1898, to withdraw from his studies.It was during this period of convalescence that Duchamp-Villon, encouraged by his brothers Jacques and Marcel, began experimenting with sculpture. The remarkable gifts of the self-taught sculptor were soon recognised and in 1902 and 1903 he was invited to show at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, where he exhibited under the designation ‘Raymond Duchamp-Villon’ to distinguish his work from that of his brothers. By 1905, Duchamp-Villon was exhibiting at the Salon d’Automne and, just two years later, in 1907, his reputation had grown such that he was elected as jury member for the Salon’s sculpture section.Duchamp-Villon’s early experiments in sculpture were largely centred around the more naturalistic template of sculpture as dictated by Auguste Rodin. However, by the 1910s, as the world changed around him so, too, did his art. Alongside his brothers, Marcel and Jacques, from 1911 Duchamp-Villon became an important figure in the Section d’Or group, a collective of painters, sculptors, poets and critics associated with Cubism and Orphism. As one of the first artists to apply Cubist principles to three-dimensional objects, Duchamp-Villon became a hugely significant figure in furthering the Cubist ideals and aesthetic.Dated 1911, the present lot is a fascinating example of both the themes and techniques that became dominant in Duchamp-Villon’s later work – horses and geometry. Duchamp-Villon used the horse as the subject for several of his bronzes, for him, the horse was not only ‘animal’ but became a codified creature bound with concepts of power, war and modernity. In his Cubist visual language, Duchamp-Villon juxtaposes apparently binary ideas of the corporeal and the mechanical, where muscles become pistons and the skeleton becomes the chassis.Sadly, Duchamp-Villon died aged just 42 following a bout of typhoid which he contracted whilst serving as a medic for the French army during World War I. Though his life was tragically cut short, during his army service he was able to complete his most significant Cubist work, The Large Horse, which demonstrates a clear ambition to move away entirely from representative works towards pure, geometric abstraction. In good condition, noting the need for a clean. No apparent foundry marks or edition numbers. Date of casting unknown.
