Emile-Antoine Bourdelle
Emile-Antoine Bourdelle nasceu em Montalban, França, em 1861.
Bourdelle foi aluno de Rodin, mas em vez de seguir a escola Rodin preferiu seguir estudos na escultura gótica e da Grécia antiga. O artista se inspirava nas imagens da antigüidade e seu objetivo era criar uma impressão de densidade e volume nas obras, o que fazia dele um escultor diferente para sua época já que os outros escultores se preocupavam mais em fazer obras com figuras graciosas.
A obra Herakles, feita em 1908, é tensa e heróica sintetizando a busca de Bourdelle pelo monumental na escultura. Herakles revela força, potência e energia tudo concentrado como que prestes a irromper de forma brutal como se fosse um Hércules. Bourdelle utilizou formas musculares fortes e expressão nítida para dar a sensação de vitalidade. A tensão é claramente expressa pelo arco puxado para trás por uma enorme e forte mão. Outro ponto de tensão é criado pela perna do arqueiro que, com os tendões salientes, faz pressão contra um rochedo.
A obra Herakles é feita em gesso medindo 248 cm de altura e está no Musée Bourdelle, em Paris, França.
Antoine Bourdelle morreu em Vesinet, França, em 1929.
Okada Mokichi (1882-1955), founder of this museum, held a firm belief that "works of art should not be monopolized but made available to be viewed and enjoyed by as many people as possible, helping to elevate human sentiments and making big contributions towards cultural development."
Soon after the end of World War II, Okada began energetically collecting works of Oriental art. To prevent these art works from being sold abroad, he established the Tômei Art Preservation Society (currently the MOA Art and Cultural Foundation) and opened the Hakone Museum of Art in Gôra, Hakone.
To realize the desire of the founder "to build a world-class museum in Atami to introduce the excellent sense for beauty innate in the Japanese culture to people worldwide," in 1982 in the year celebrating the centennial of Okada's birth, this museum was opened in the city of Atami. The Mokichi Okada Association (MOA) Foundation, centered on the MOA Museum of Art, is promoting a wide range of art and cultural activities which not only include art exhibitions but flower arrangements, cha-no-yu tea ceremony, stage performances, an annual International Children's Art Exhibition among many others.
Career
Bourdelle was born at Montauban, Tarn-et-Garonne. He left school at the age of 13 to work as a wood carver in his father's cabinet making shop. He learned drawing with the founder of the Ingres Museum in Montauban, then sculpture at the art school in Toulouse. At the age of 24 he won a scholarship to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
In 1888 he did his first sculptures of Beethoven, producing authoritative work with an emphasis on order, the spirit of geometry, construction and invention. He became one of the pioneers of 20th century monumental sculpture. Auguste Rodin became a great admirer of his work and in 1893 Antoine Bourdelle joined Rodin as his assistant where he soon became a popular teacher, both there and at his own studio where many future prominent artists attended his classes, so that his influence on sculpture was considerable.
During his last years, Bourdelle received several commissions for monuments. He was a founder and vice-president of the Paris Salon des Tuileries, and in 1924 became a commander of the Legion of Honor. Antoine Bourdelle died at Le Vésinet, near Paris, on October 1, 1929 and was interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse, Paris, France.
