About the Item

Joseph Goethe was one of our finest American modernist carvers in wood. He loved to use exotic and or beautiful woods to inspire his compositions which ranged from figurative, to animal or aviary in form - to completely abstract. In this piece he has effectively used the refined grain of Mahogany to depict a female form with her head slightly lowered in reflective thought. It has a lovely and gentle feel about while also being sleek and sophisticated in its forms and shapes. A delightful piece for a table, desk or mantle or shelf!!! The wood has some cracks in it that are inherent to working in this medium - no repairs. It has a lustrous surface. From the estate of the artist!!! The artist had many exhibitions in his lifetime and lived and worked in California.
