OH, MY GOODNESS!!!!! This Beautiful Bronze Beauty is full of fabulous Jim Bass SASS!!!! Isn’t it PHENOMENAL??? We certainly think so!! It’s always extra fun when we get to give a little shout-out to a local Topeka, Kansas sculptor/artist that gained national fame through his accomplished career creating masterpieces such as this incredible bronze sculpture!! It is composed of a Cubist style bronze figure with block colorization boasting rich colors of red, aqua, gold, and white mounted upon a lovely rectangular walnut block base, signed and dated on the bottom. It is titled “Homage to Nancy Keith” and it is #2 of 8 editions. Fun Fact… Cubist is an early 20th Century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting & sculpture developed primarily by Pablo Picasso & Georges Braque. It challenged traditional artistic notions and contexts and paved the way for abstract art! This fantastic Jim Bass sculpture has features and structures much in the manner of Pablo Picasso bearing a sense of depth, multiple perspectives, abstract features, and geometric form… it’s ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS!!! It is going to be incredible on a sofa or console table in your living room, upon a shelf or the mantle above the fireplace, or anywhere in your home that needs a touch of Cubist style MAGNIFICENCE!!!
Jim Bass was born in Topeka, Kansas in 1933 where he graduated from Topeka High School and The University of Kansas. He went to Mexico where he studied lost-wax casting, married his wife & fellow artist Jean Ison, and together they crafted a beautiful home in Kansas, raised their two children, and built Bass Studios & Foundry. They made their home an artist’s haven where they & family created sculptures, art, tapestries, furniture, & gained National fame & notification. He was a renowned master at his craft of sketching, sculpting, and bronze work. For over six decades he refined his bronze work with many sculptures throughout the Midwest where he has countless public works on display. He lost his wife in 2011 but he continued creating highly skilled artwork and sculptures, served at the First Congressional Church, and lead the Auburn Boy Scout Troop 117 for 23 years. Mr. Bass passed away at 86 in 2020.
