The expression of movement has been expertly captured; the clown stands in his baggy clothes with an umbrella hooked into his jacket pocket. A bunch of balloons rest on his shoulder and are attached by a piece of string which hooks over his thumb. The colours are exquisite and Pensive Clown with Balloons has been delicately handpainted; Armani has captured the sculptural detail and movement so well. Armani's appreciation for love and romance, nature and the spirit is evident in this figurine. He has captured the moment and the universal appeal of this figurine will touch your heart. For over 30 years, Giuseppe Armani, through the Florence Sculpture d'Arte gallery in Italy, has created sculptured fine art masterpieces. Although he is a direct descendant of the Renaissance art heritage, Armani followed his own artistic intuition in his evolution. He continually searched for new and different ways of creative expression ranging from classical motifs to the more contemporary and/or whimsical styles. He possessed a rare artistic talent and gives life and spark to inanimate clay. Armani's figurine expressions are extremely communicative and the relaxed postures give the general feeling of serenity and fulfillment. Few artists have achieved the same international recognition for quality, design originality, attention to detail, and towering craftsmanship as Giuseppe Armani's world famous sculptures. Although sadly Giuseppe Armani passed away in October 2006, and there will be no more art works created by him, the magnificent creations of his imagination live after him  in the gallery of art and sculpture he left us. In celebrating his life's work, these beautiful timeless figurines can only grow in value. Pensive Clown with Balloons is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks or other damage; this really is a very beautiful piece and would make a great addition to your precious pieces.
