Statuette "Young hockey player"

Celebrating a bygone era of hockey's origins, the renowned Soviet sculptor L. Razumovsky's 1956 model hockey player sculpture is a passionate tribute to the birth of street hockey in the 1950s. The visceral energy of the era, encapsulated in simple, everyday clothes, and an earflap for a helmet, invites the onlooker to ponder how the game has evolved from its raw, unbridled form.

The sculpture is held in high esteem within the collections of the Russian Museum - a testament to Razumovsky's profound talent and artistic legacy. Skilfully crafted with acute attention to detail, the figure acts as a vivid historical recount of a bygone era. The artist provides an insightful glimpse into the time when hockey was not just a sport, but a part of street life, played with fervour and grit, minus the uniform, in the chill of winters.

Enabling you to gift a piece of history, this Razumovsky masterpiece makes for an exceptional gift for any hockey enthusiast, marking a time when the game unfolded on the streets, unencumbered by modern rules and restrictions.

Delve into the legacy of Lev Samsonovich Razumovsky, a Soviet sculptor born in 1926, who immortalised his experiences and passion in varied genres including monuments, garden sculptures, portraits, compositions and small plastic. As a frontline soldier who later entered sculpture at the Leningrad Higher School of Art and Industry in 1945, his work not only reflects his abundant talent but also narrates his exceptional journey. With contributions marking numerous exhibitions, Razumovsky's distinct signature style is regarded as a valuable contribution to the field of sculpture.
