<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Balance was one of the central formal concerns of Rembrandt Bugatti as a sculptor. In this charming 1908 sculpture entitled &quot;Elephant Begging&quot;, also known as &quot;Il y Arrivera&quot;, the artist is fascinated by the distribution of mass and weight in the animal's body. Here, Bugatti has modelled a young Indian elephant leaning over the railing at the Antwerp Zoo to take gently a morsel of food from an onlooker. This sensitive portrayal conjures a sense of dignity and the obvious bond between man and animal.<br /> <br /> http://www.bugattibuilder.com/photo/albums/userpics/10003/normal_Dsc05075.jpg<br /> <br /> ----<br /> More Rembrandt Bugatti pictures:<br /> <br /> http://www.bugattibuilder.com/photo/thumbnails.php?album=267</div>
