Herman Hohaus - Prometheus - Front of Art Gallery

107 Brown Street,, HAMILTON VIC 3300 - Property No B6747

Herman Hohaus produced a great number of small figurative sculptures, most of which were cast in bronze by the artist. Prometheus is one of the relatively small number of large scale works by the artist. Generally speaking he worked best on an intimate, small scale, but Prometheus is both a successful and a typical work, illustrating the artist's links with classical sculpture. Of the few commissions obtained by Hohaus, most were for churches. Classified: July 1996

Ian Bow Sculpture - McLelland Gallery

Cast Metal, Untitled Sculpture

Mc Clelland Drive,, LANGWARRIN VIC 3910 - Property No B7088

The work is one of the most public examples of the artist's oeuvre and therefore, one of the most familiar to a wide audience. The work is a good and representative example of the artist's distinctive style. In the context of the original commission, the fountain represents a reasonable good interpretation of the allocated space ... more
