José Maria David (b.1944) French Walking Elephant Signed, stamped ``Landowski Fondeur 2013``, cast in silver no. 8/8, 21cm by 36.5cm Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist Born in the Loire Atlantique region of France, José-Maria David grew up near the Gâvre forest; one of the hunting areas frequented by the Dukes of Brittany in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This environment had a huge influence on him and caused him to be passionate about art, animals and nature. He had a career as an antique dealer until 1986, when he decided to dedicate himself to his love for sculpting animals. David has a particular skill for portraying the strength and dynamism of moving animals and is especially well regarded for his portrayals of big cats (an example of a lion on the chase ``Lion Chassant`` sold for €255,000 at Marc-Arthur Kohn on 27th May 27, 2014, achieving a world record for the artist). His bronzes have been compared to those of the celebrated sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti. *PLEASE NOTE: Droit de Suite Royalty Charges (or ARR) apply to this lot
