Édouard-Marcel Sandoz Bronze Condor Sculpture

This bronze figure of a condor was designed and cast circa 1911-1912 by the Swiss-French animalier sculptor Édouard Marcel Sandoz.  Formed of richly patinated bronze, the condor is refined to its essential planes and forms.  With its shining dark surfaces, this streamlined and compelling work anticipates the powerful stylization of the Art Deco and Art Moderne.
