About the Item

This abstract 1920s Swedish sculpture of painted-and-gilded plaster, on a painted-wood base, is pleasing from all angles. At the time and place where it was made, the Swedish Grace movement was in full swing. That style, characterized by a refined and delicate fluidity, was an update of the neoclassical style of the Gustavian period that prevailed around 1800. What's unusual about this sculpture, however, is the union of typical Swedish Grace arabesques, recalling vegetation, or windswept drapery, with Stark Cubistic forms that suggest the influence of Paris modernism. Nevertheless, we can identify the sculpture as Swedish, if for no other reason than the fact that its previous owner, the important London sculpture dealer Daniel Katz, purchased it in Stockholm. As for the sculptor's identity, when the research libraries reopen, we'll be looking into the work of Sidney Gibson. He was a sculptor who designed furniture, lighting fixtures, and furniture, for the Stockholm town hall, and his own beautiful house on the grounds of Haga, the royal palace.
