Height 14.5 in., Width 12 in., Depth 4 in. Folk Art welded steel sculptures depicting a bull by American sculptor Bill Heise (1943–2011). Executed in fabricated steel, the works display Heises characteristic playful approach to animal form, combining industrial materials with expressive line and stylized construction. Each figure is constructed from welded steel elements, with simplified, animated forms that emphasize personality and movement. Both sculptures are signed on the base. Heises work is associated with late 20th-century American studio metal sculpture, blending folk-art sensibility with modern fabrication techniques.
