The Emerald Bull 1903-12-31—2024-03-02

This sculpture, evocative of a mighty beast, stands in serene stillness, carved from a block of jade-green marble. Its form is stylized and smooth, with gentle curves that abstractly suggest the mass and power of a large, muscular animal, perhaps a bear or an elephant. The marble's natural variations create a dappled effect across the surface, giving the sculpture a tactile richness and visual depth. Despite its implied strength, there is a softness to its shape, and it carries a quiet presence. The sculpture is positioned against a backdrop that contrasts the organic form with the geometric precision of books and a classic round clock, emphasizing the timeless nature of both the art and the material from which it is hewn.
