Fred Brouard
Medium: Exotic fruit and bronze
Dimensions: 10 in high x 11 in wide x 5.5 in deep
An unique piece composed of bronze and fruit wood parts that move on a hinge, evincing the flight of a bird.
Brouard’s work confirmed his versatility as a sculptor with his diverse use of materials and variances in scale (from the most delicate of jewelry to large, elegant furnishings); but, he was also a master of juxtaposition, evoking (often with the same piece) both the impermanence and motion of nature and the industrial, urban world which was accelerating rapidly around him.
