          Toma Rosandic (Serbo-Croatian, 1878-1959) 'La Pucelle' (A Vestal Virgin)bronze sculpture,

          Est: £10,000 - £15,000

          Toma Rosandic (Serbo-Croatian, 1878-1959) 'La Pucelle' (A Vestal Virgin) bronze sculpture, signed 'T Rosandic' to base 66 3/4in. (169.5cm.) high. 66 3/4in. (169.5cm.) high. * Toma Rosandic, the son of a stoneworker was born in Split, Serbia in 1878. He and his friend and contemporary Ivan Meštrovi? were the most prominent Yugoslav sculptors of the day. During their early years in Split, Rosandic learnt to carve in wood and stone and was much inspired by the younger Meštrovi?. With the advent of war Rosandic left for London where he exhibited at the Grafton Galleries in 1917 as well as in Brighton and Edinburgh. It was at the Grafton that he first exhibited La Pucelle in 1917, which he had carved from walnut and from which the current bronze was later cast. It is a very fine example of Rosandic's originality and style, with a beauty and simplicity of line which foretell the clean, stylised sculptures of the forthcoming Art Deco period in the 1920s. The original walnut sculpture was later acquired for Sissinghurst Castle by the owners Sir Harold Nicholson and his wife Vita Sackville-West and is now located in the Long Room of the castle. A lead copy was made later in 1934 and placed in the famous White Garden created by Vita Sackville-West. Two bronze castings are known - the example at Priors and a second casting, originally owned by Sir Edward Maufe and sold in 1977 by Clifford Dann of Eastbourne in the Shepherds Hill, Buxted house contents sale. It was later shown at The Fine Art Society 'Sculpture in Britain Between the Wars' exhibition in Summer 1986, cat. no. 89 and subsequently offered for sale as lot 264 at Sotheby's sale 001292 on 2nd November 2001, realising a hammer price of £20,000.

LITERATURE Galerie Yougoslave de Beaux Arts, Rosandic, 1920, illustrated pl. 58; Kineton Parkes, Sculpture of Today, Chapman and Hall, London, 1921 ('Languor'); Stanley Casson, Some Modern Sculptors, Oxford University Press, London, 1928, illustrated fig.37; Kineton Parkes, The Art of Carved Sculpture, Chapman and Hall, London, 1932 ('Languor'); Alan Durst, Wood Carving, Studio, 1938, pp.78-9, illustrated pl.55. NOTE Born in Split, Croatia, Rosandic came into contact with sculpture at an early age through his father who was a stone worker. He quickly mastered the techniques of carving in both stone and wood and was also inspired by his compatriot, Ivan Mestrovic. Following the outbreak of the First World War, Rosandic left for London where his exhibition at the Grafton Galleries in 1917 was received to great acclaim. In a review of works in The New Age, 1917, Ezra Pound commented that he found Rosandic's work 'hopeful' concluding that he 'should be more inclined to trust him than Mestrovic'. After the war, Rosandic settled in Belgrade where he founded an arts school that became known as the 'Master Workshop' attracting visiting international artists such as Henry Moore who exhibited in Belgrade in March 1955. Although the title of this piece was listed as Desire when exhibited at The Fine Art Society in 1986, an alternative title may have been Languor. Of a carved walnut torso on loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum at the time of writing, Kineton Parkes remarked that it '[exhibits] the artist's surface-work admirably' (Sculpture of Today, 1921). In Parkes' later volume, The Art of Carved Sculpture he expands: 'In the vigorous but placid female torso known as Languor, the figure is completely detached from the block, and might be mistaken for modelling in bronze, for even the tooled surface might be very well imitated in clay with the spatula'.
