Description :
A charming and finely crafted mixed‑metal sculpture by Wah Chang, titled “Tree Frog.” The piece features a small, expressive frog rendered in cast metal, perched midway up a tall, slender leaf. The surrounding leaves are shaped in a naturalistic arc and finished with a soft green patina, creating a graceful vertical composition. The entire vignette is mounted on a polished agate slice, a signature presentation choice in Chang’s late‑life sculpture work. Wah Ming Chang was an American designer, sculptor, and special‑effects innovator whose career spanned fine art, film, and television. A prodigy who exhibited artwork as a child, Chang later became one of Hollywood’s most inventive creators. He is best known for designing iconic props and creatures for Star Trek, The Time Machine, Planet of the Apes, and numerous Disney and George Pal productions. In 1960, Chang—along with Gene Warren, Tim Baar, and Jim Danforth—won the Academy Award for Best Special Effects for their groundbreaking work on George Pal’s film The Time Machine. In his later decades, Chang focused on limited‑edition bronzes and mixed‑media sculptures, often depicting animals, mythic creatures, and whimsical natural forms—pieces like your baby dragon that reveal his warmth, humor, and extraordinary craftsmanship. base is 5" across 10" tallArtist Bio — Wah Ming Chang (1917–2003)
