Hi people
So I remember years ago, watching an episode or the Antiques Roadshow. On it, and item being shown was a sculpture / model (something like china or porcelain) of some kind of bird. I believe it was a dove.
This model of the Dove was highly streamlined and minimalistic . This was many years ago, so my memory is a little hazy. The expert, as I remember, said this was made by famous guy (or maybe it was brothers?) who (as I seem to remember, was French, but perhaps I'm wrong about that) was known to have a very distinct style, in which he/ they would base their models off things (such as animals and objects ) in the real world, but they would like..... Strip them back, and make the shape of whatever they were modelling as simple as possible.
So in the case of the Dove, it did not have intricate details nor was there any attempt at making it a 100% replica of what a Dove truly looks like. It looked simplistic and smooth, almost kind of cartoony.
So my question is.... Who is the person who made what I've described? I really like the idea of stripping something back to its most simplistic form, and I'd love to find out who this person is, so I could look at other examples of their work
