Francisco Narváez, Venezuelan (1905-1982) Bronze and chrome sculpture "Volumenes". Marble base. Signed and numbered 1/4. Measures 13-1/2" H. About the artist: After completing his studies at the former school of Fine Arts in Caracas (1922-1928), Narváez moved to Paris to study sculpture at the Julian Academy (1928-1931). Upon his return to Venezuela in 1931, he opened his studio in Catia, a working class quarter of Caracas (1931-1943). Narváez taught sculpture and modeling at the new Escuela de Bellas Artes in Caracas, where he served as director from 1953-1956. His style evolved from figuration to a progressively pure abstraction. He has exhibited widely (including an important exhibition in 1977 at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Caracas), and is also well represented in a series of public and architectural monuments in Caracas and other Venezuelan cities. Among his most outstanding awards is Venezuela's National Prize for Sculpture (1941) and for Painting (1948). . Condition: Good condition.
