AFFORTUNATO GORY (Italy, active between 1895 - 1925). "Female bust". Sculpture in marble. Signed. Measurements: 60 cm (height). Born in Florence, Affortunato Gory developed his training with the master Augusto Rovalta, and after finishing his studies he settled in France, where he developed most of his career. He participated in the Salon des Artistes Français on several occasions between 1902 and 1923. He made his sculptures in the Art Nouveau style, often in bronze but also chryselephantine, with ivory or white marble flesh tones. His production includes a bronze and marble bust of "Iris" from 1904, a statue of Michelangelo in marble from 1912, a "Bacchante with lovebirds" in gilded bronze from 1914 and a sculpture from the same year, in marble, entitled "Bouquetière". He was especially brilliant in the realization of female figures, represented as ladies, dancers, oriental or medieval princesses or classical figures, although he also excelled in his busts of young people and children. Gory is currently represented in museums dedicated to Art Nouveau such as the Casa Lis, as well as in private collections around the world.
