- Lot Description
Thelma Weresh (American, 1919-2016). "Man" bronze, n.d. Edition 1 of 6, signed & numbered on right foot. "Woman" bronze, n.d. Edition 1 of 6, signed & numbered on back hemline. An extraordinary pair of bronze sculptures by Thelma Weresh, co-founder of the Loveland Invitational Sculpture Show. "Man" stands with outspread legs and upraised arms bent at the elbows with hands meeting above his head. Donning a hooded long garment that hugs her body and resolves in a billowing hemline, "Woman" holds both hands to her face as if expressing surprise or grief. Both figures are rendered in an abstract, minimalist style as opposed to Weresh's more typical realistic approach. While Weresh infused "Man" with dramatic geometry and angularity, she opted for curvaceous fluid volumes to render "Woman". Both are in-the-round and their forms invite the eye to view them from all angles. Both are mounted on custom wood rotating stands fit with brass plates engraved with the titles and the sculptor's name. Size (Man): 31" H (78.7 cm); 33.25" H (84.5 cm) on included custom stand. Size (Woman): 27.75" H (70.5 cm): 29.75" H (75.6 cm) on included custom stand.
About the Artist: Thelma Faye Weresh "was active in a variety of positions in the art world from an advisor to the Kennedy Commission, president of the Nebraska Arts Council, member of the Loveland Arts Council and in 1991, was a co-founder of the Loveland Invitational Sculpture Show. Her passion was her art, especially bronze sculptures in the last 25 years of her life. Her art is part of private, corporate, academic, institutional and public collections throughout America."
