VADIM ANDROUSOV (St. Petersburg, 1895-1975). "Circus acrobat". Enameled and varnished plaster. It has slight damage to the hat and a slight picket on the base. Without signature. Measurements: 25 x 19 x 10 cm. Vadim Androusov grew up in a family interested in culture (his grandfather was the archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, discoverer of Troy and Mycenae -which explains why many of Androusov's sculptures are inspired by Classical Antiquity). As an artist, he preferred the use of terracotta, plaster, wood or stone to the use of bronze. Throughout his career as an artist, he exhibited his works at the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Indépendants. Parallel to his activity as a sculptor, he collaborated with decorators and made appliqués, furniture handles and escutcheons for locks; throughout the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, his creations adorned neoclassical furniture made by André Arbus and Jean Pascaud.
