Old times (2011) Scultura da Erno Toth

Story about the sculpture:

I grew up in a time when television broadcasts were just beginning and the only way to watch a movie was in the cinema. However, this was not yet available in every city, so visiting a film screening was an exceptional experience - maybe once or twice a year.
It was only during my university studies that I had the opportunity to go to the cinema more often.
The level of cinematography at that time was, from an artistic (and often content-wise) point of view, much higher than today. We devoured films by directors Felini, Antonioni, Chabrol, Goddard and many other greats.
Girls found their idols in actors such as Marcello Mastroianni, Alain Delon, Jean Paul Belmondo and others, while boys admired the beauty of Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren and many others.

This work of the cinematographer is a small nostalgic memory of the good old days and a tribute to film artists.




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.
