Description
The following lots 706-708 are by the Mexican Sculptor Armando Amaya, b.1935
Born in 1935 in Mexico City, sculptor Armando Amaya is one of Mexico's most eminent interpreters of the female form. Whether sculpting in terracotta clay, bronze or marble Amaya works directly from the model and his interpretation of the female body is dignified, graceful and unique, a melding of the Mexican Figurative movement with modernist experimentation. Like many of his great piers working in the Latin American tradition, his work is a union of European and indigenous aesthetics.
Amaya studied at the National School of Painting and Sculpture under the Costa-Rican born Mexican artist, Francisco Zuñiga, who was also well known for his portrayal of the female form in sculpture. Having graduated from the school, he was personal assistant to Zuñiga for five years before being appointed a Professor at the same institution in 1969. He received much of his art training at the Esmeralda School, which was formed by a group of artisans producing government works.
Amaya's sculptures are in private and public collections throughout the United States, Canada, Japan, Ecuador, Mexico and other Latin American countries.
