Historical Description

Displayed in a dramatic composition, Arman Untitled (Violon Brule I), 2004, depicts a burnt violin disintegrating before our eyes. Exposing the hollow interior of the instrument, Arman juxtaposes the elegant curves of the violin with the charred and jagged fragments ascending the topmost sculpture. Expressing that beauty can exist in aftermath of destruction, Untitled (Violon Brule I), 2004 utilizes contrast in content, form, and texture in an effect that is as haunting as it is stunning.

Created in 2004, this cast bronze sculpture with brown and black patina has the incised signature by Fernandez Arman  (Nice, 128 - New York, 2005) on the sculpture. Numbered in roman numerals from the edition of 30, with the stamp of the foundry, Bocquel, France, this work is aside from the edition of 100 numbered in Arabic numerals.
