Art Deco Panther Sculpture By Guy Debe French
Black Panther Art Deco sculpture was designed and signed by Guy Debe. It features a black metal patinated material of the body of the panther which is a blend of metals called regul based on bronze. The sculptural panther you see resting on top of a beautiful contrasting marble base with vertical metal bands depicts a very dynamic style as the panther is posing in a classic hunting power position.
The panther sculpture has a black metal patinated finish, which was a technique commonly used during that time to give the metal surface a darker appearance. The panther is depicted in a graceful pose, capturing the sleek and powerful movement of the animal. The marble base provides a contrasting backdrop, adding a luxurious touch to the overall composition.
Art Deco sculptures often reflected the fascination with exoticism and luxury prevalent in the period, and the panther motif was a popular choice due to its association with power, grace, and mystery. The artistic design direction you see throughout sculptures by well known artists like LeVerrier, Carvin, Online, Secondo or Hughes.
