LARGE! LORENZO GHIGLIERI "STARS AND STRIPES" BRONZE SCULPTURE

LARGE!! Lorenzo E. Ghiglieri (Born 1931) "Stars And Stripes" Bronze Sculpture. Contemporary Oregon painter and sculptor Lorenzo Ghiglieri was born in Los Angeles, California, on November 25, 1931. His precise sculptures in bronze, again of large stature, are sometimes over 30 feet tall. Lorenzo was a Korean War Naval Veteran. He was assigned to the Headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Fleet, in Norfolk, Virginia, where he served as staff illustrator and naval painter. During this tour came a commission for a marine painting of the cruiser, U.S.S. Baltimore, which was officially presented by the United States to Great Britain on the occasion of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Influenced by his Italian sculptor father, Angelo, and his French pianist and vocalist mother, Frieda, Lorenzo Ghiglieri grew up in a world of ethnic blends that was to enrich his art. Both of his grandfathers were artists, one a sculptor and the other a musician-conductor. Lorenzo sees himself as a storyteller, and works in a style he relates to baroque realism. His is not a static naturalism, but a robust organization of nature observed along lines of action and counteraction. Ghiglieri's work is held in numerous prominent collections, including the permanent White House Collection, the Vatican, Kremlin, and the Smithsonian Museum. Many world leaders possess his sculptures, among them Pope John Paul II, King Juan Carlos of Spain, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Queen Elizabeth.
