"Leaper: A Captivating Journey Through Time and Motion" Step into the world of "Leaper, " where art, advertising, and athleticism converge to create a captivating visual experience. From the vibrant advertising posters for Diablerets aperitif and Amer Picon to the mesmerizing motion study captured in collotype plate form, this collection takes you on an exhilarating ride. Transport yourself back to ancient Rome with Marcus Curtius leaping into the chasm, depicted in a capriccio alongside Trajan. Feel your heart race as you witness a horse clearing an obstacle with sheer grace and power in Chevals enlevant sur l'Obstacle. The delicate pastel over monotype on paper artwork titled Le Pas Battu invites you to marvel at the beauty of movement frozen in time. But it doesn't stop there – explore the realm of sculpture with The Flame Leaper, an early 20th-century masterpiece crafted from cold-painted bronze, ivory, and amber. This evocative piece captures both the fragility and strength inherent in daring acts. Travel across continents as Arab Fantasia transports you to a vivid scene painted on canvas in 1866. Immerse yourself further by admiring Ebbe's sculpture "Lighter than Air, " which defies gravity itself. Intriguingly juxtaposed is another aspect of leaping - catching a jumping fire victim circa 1900 - reminding us that sometimes leaps are not just artistic but also heroic acts performed by brave individuals. "Leaper" offers more than mere glimpses into various forms of leaping; it invites contemplation about human potential, courage, and innovation. These diverse artworks remind us that whether through physical prowess or creative expression, we all have within us the ability to leap beyond our limitations and embrace new possibilities.
