3 Cassowary by Emmanuel Fremiet, Bronze, Signed, 32cm high, 61cm wide, 15cm deep, Animals and Birds, Emu, Sculpture
This piece by Emmanuel Fremiet is a signed bronze sculpture measuring 32cm high, 61cm wide, and 15cm deep. The piece shows three cassowary birds walking in a single file, each one positioned just behind the other. Their poses shift slightly from bird to bird, suggesting different stages of motion, yet they stay visually unified as a group. Their shared bronze base anchors them together and reinforces their collective movement.
Fremiet abstracts the forms, simplifying each bird so that only the essential features remain. Fine details such as feathers or skin texture do not appear, instead, the shaping relies on strong silhouettes and confident modelling. Sculpting lines remain visible across the bronze, giving the surface an expressive, handmade quality. Although simplified, the birds still read clearly as cassowaries, with their distinctive bodies, stances, and characteristic forward-leaning posture.
The bronze is smoothed but left with a matte finish, which softens the light and highlights the subtle ridges and marks left by the artist. This texture contrasts gently with the sculpture’s rhythmic composition, where the three forms create a flowing repetition of curves and steps. As the birds progress forward, their linked arrangement suggests quiet procession, unity, and shared purpose.
Overall, 3 Cassowary blends natural observation with artistic abstraction, resulting in a piece that feels both lively and thoughtfully composed.
