More About The ‘Lost Wax’ Method of Bronze Casting

This extremely old method of casting bronze statues and bronze statuettes has been used since at least the third millennium BCE and has changed very little to this day.

It involves creating a wax model of the statue or piece that is to be cast. This is then coated with a suitable substance, such as plaster, to create a mold. Once the mold is dry, the wax is heated and drained off leaving the space into which to pour the molten bronze. If a hollow bronze is required, then the wax model is built around a heat-resistant core which does not melt and so ensures that the centre of the cast bronze statue will be hollow.

More About the Art Deco Style

This became a very influential visual arts style and first appeared in France in the 1920s. It flourished internationally during the 1930s and 1940s.

An eclectic style, it combined both traditional craft motifs with ‘Machine Age’ imagery and materials. The early style featured rich colours, lavish ornamentation and bold geometric shapes. It is distinguished from its predecessor Art Nouveau by its embrace of technology and new materials such as plastic. It developed over time to accommodate the requirements of mass production and the earlier lavish decoration gave way to more streamlined shapes and curves.

During its heyday Art Deco represented all that was luxurious, glamorous and exuberant and expressed faith in technological and social progress.

Lost Wax Method
sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue or the Latin, cera perduta is the process by which a bronze or brass is cast from an artists sculpture.

In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardised.

Art Deco or Deco,
is an influential visual arts design style which first appeared in France during the 1920s, flourished internationally during the 30s and 40s.

It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Ageimagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colours, bold geometric shapes, and lavish ornamentation.

Deco emerged from the Interwar period when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. This distinguishes Deco from the organic motifs favored by its predecessor Art Nouveau.

Historian Bevis Hillier defined Art Deco as "an assertively modern style...[that] ran to symmetry rather than asymmetry, and to the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear; it responded to the demands of the machine and of new material...[and] the requirements of mass production".

During its heyday Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.
