CLIVE SHEPPARD 1930–1973 | BIO WORK STUDIO PRESS LINKS | THE VIENNA COLLECTION | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Zu den zeitgenössischen Fotos von Werken (um 1960): Neben Bronze- und Bleigüssen sind viele der abgebildeten Arbeiten aus Wachs, auch mit experimentellen Techniken bearbeitet. So tauchte Clive Sheppard Papier in flüssiges Wachs, um es dann zu formen oder umwickelte die Figuren mit Schnüren. Durch seine Arbeit im British Museum hatte er auch die Möglichkeit, Objekte zu galvanisieren: Verkupfert und grün patiniert sahen sie wie Bronzegüsse aus, dies machte er, bevor er sich Bronzegüsse leisten konnte.
Remarks to the contemporary photos of works (around 1960): In addition to casts in bronze and lead, many of these works were made from wax, and some were crafted employing experimental techniques. For example, Sheppard dipped paper into molten wax to be able to sculpt it, and he also wrapped some of the figures with string. An immediate benefit of his work at the Natural History Museum was that he also had the opportunity to galvanize objects with copper plating and a patina so that they looked like bronze casts. He did this principally to keep the costs down before he could afford bronze casting. |
