#746 "Ecorche"

Ecorche - the French word for "flayed" - is a term that refers to the
anatomical study of animal or human form without skin.  When the
 skin is removed the artist can study the underlying musculature.

When I was a student at Kansas City Art Institute in the early 1960's we made drawings of
the classic plaster cast  - "L'Ecorche" - created by Jean-Antoine Houdon in 1767.
Like most artists I have a replica of the Houdon plaster in my studio.

Pictured below are two models I created several years ago for my workshop students.
The top image is a model cast in bronze of the equine skeleton and the lower image
is an ecorche clay model that was created many years ago but was never cast.
While my workshops focus on bird anatomy, it's important to introduce comparative
anatomy of all vertebrates - especially mammals which includes humans and quadrupeds.

For more information on the subject in this blog search for
nature's one pattern in the white search box. Also, look at the website of sculptor Rod Zullo. His recent
work depicting ecorche is beautifully presented in an extensive and artistic manner.

The Boykin Spaniel was originally bred by South Carolina sportsmen to hunt ducks
and wild turkeys.   It is medium sized, slightly larger than the Cocker Spaniel and is
known for its rich brown coat.  Traditionally, the tail is docked, and the bred is easily
identified by the long, feathered ears that hang close to the checks.  The web-toed
dog has a very sweet disposition, is impressive in the field and makes a great pet.
It is the state dog of South Carolina.

     The macaw was sacred to the Anasazi Indians.  According to legend, they 
believed the macaw took the sun south to its winter home and returned 
it in the spring. Trading with Mexican tribes supplied macaws to the Anasazi; 
their brilliant feathers provided were sacred objects.  Today, the pueblo people, 
descendants of the Anasazi use the birds in their rituals.

The idea for “Untamed” happened in Wyoming while antelope hunting in the 

high sage along the eastern slope of the Wind River Mountain Range.  As we 

crawled over a rise we knew something was happening by the dust cloud ahead.

Less than 200 yards away two stallions were fighting among a herd of 

wild horses.  The hooves, the mane, and the dust was flying as we 

watched the wild, unbridled spectacle.  My sculpture was before me.

"Untamed" won the Cyrus Dallin Award for Best Sculpture at the 
Eitlejorg Museum 2019 Quest for the West Art Show.

Years ago I read a story by Louis L’Amour, Will James, or Walter Farley – I don’t 

remember who – about cattle on the long drives from Texas to Kansas.  The critters 

could actually smell water up ahead on the wind along the hot dusty trails.

It remained in my memory and as I created “Scent of Water”, 

I attempted to engage the viewer in this tale of the old west

I grew up in Oklahoma and my Father loved to rodeo when I was  little kid.  

His event was calf roping and I would tag along and enjoy the action.

Saddle Bronc riding was my favorite rodeo event because it seemed 

to depict ranch life in an authentic way.  My new sculpture, “Bronc” 

is a high relief fragment that can be presented as a mantelpiece.  

The sculpture depicts an old time cowboy attempting to break a rank horse.
