Tribute to Marc Chagall (2023) Sculpture par Erno Toth

This is an oil painting colored bronze sculpture on a granite base. By coloring (that is, at the same time visually emphasizing) some parts of the sculpture, I want to add more cheerfulness, playfulness and variety to the work.
At the same time, the oil painting of the piece adds another artistic dimension, and such a "living" sculpture will stand out better in the interior.


Story about the sculpture:

Since my youth, I have been a great admirer and lover of the works of Marc Chagall. Boundless, absolutely free and unrestrained fantasy, often completely flying away from reality, which creates seemingly absurd, naive, surreal stories - all this, but also many other characteristics of Chagall's works are close to my nature and my mental world.
I think the influence of Chagall is most clearly observable in my painting work. In the sculpture room, only a small hint of this appears every now and then. It is precisely for this reason that I decided to give an unequivocal tribute to the artist Marc Chagall in my sculptural work with this separate work.
If you know a little about Chagall's paintings, you will certainly find clear associations between them and the figures on my sculpture.



Important information:
Even if I state that there are 3-5 copies of a specific sculpture, each of them is actually an original. The technique of my work is atypical and I have to model every single piece of the same sculpture again and create a mold into which the bronze is then poured. Despite over 40 years of experience, even I cannot model any of the other variations of the same motif completely identically. There are minor differences between them, even though in principle it is the same work.
Sometimes it can happen that the work shown in the photo has already been sold in the meantime, and in the case of another order, I have to model this motif again from the beginning and have it cast into a new form. In this case, the time for sending the work is around 3 weeks, and it must be taken into account that this sculpture will differ in a few small details from the depicted work.
But the advantage is that, for the above reasons, the purchased work is unique, and a completely identical work can simply never exist.
