Large bronze statue (85 cm.) of Derme Morou. (1940-2000) Burkina Faso.

Following the tradition of his family Derm Magoo worked with the “ cire perdue” , lost wax method, for the manufacturing of bronze objects. Derme Morou chose to create art early on. At the sight of this statue you are in Africa. You can see this woman walking in the rural area. On the way to her field. Beautifully designed with an eye for detail. From every viewpoint you discover something new. The Museum de Bourgogne purchased a figure from Derme Morou. A saying from Derme: I am both an artist and an artisan. Perhaps I should explain. In our trade, we make things which are useful, and we make thinks which are purely decorative, things which are just to be looked at, to give pleasure. Since I do both, I am both an artisan and an artist. Height 85 cm. Weight 25 kg. Considering the weight, pick up in my Gallery in Rotterdam is preferred.
