EDITORS COMMENTS
Resistance, by Jean Alexandre Joseph Falguiere (1894) This bronze sculpture, titled "Resistance," is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist Jean Alexandre Joseph Falguiere, created in 1894. The sculpture is an allegorical figure representing the concept of resistance, a theme that resonated deeply within the European artistic community of the late 19th century. Falguiere's "Resistance" is a powerful representation of a female figure, her muscles tensed and poised, standing defiantly against an unseen adversary. Her determined expression and robust form convey a sense of strength and resilience, embodying the spirit of resistance that was prevalent during this period in European history. The sculpture's rich, intricate details and lifelike texture are a testament to Falguiere's exceptional skill as a sculptor. The bronze casting process, which involved creating a mold or mould from a clay model and then pouring molten bronze into it, allowed Falguiere to capture every nuance of the figure's form, resulting in a stunning work of art that continues to captivate viewers today. "Resistance" is a quintessential example of the Beaux-Arts artistic school, which emphasized classical forms and techniques. The sculpture's elegant shape and harmonious proportions reflect the influence of ancient Greek and Roman art, while its allegorical subject matter speaks to the enduring relevance of these themes in European culture. This impressive sculpture is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. As a symbol of strength and resilience, "Resistance" serves as a reminder of the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity, making it a valuable addition to the museum's extensive heritage art holdings.
