About the Item

This captivating Art Deco cubist cat sculpture, crafted circa 1935, showcases a bold and stylized interpretation of feline elegance, reflecting the cubist influence within Art Deco design. The cream enamel surface and geometric contours evoke the streamlined and abstract forms that were central to the movement's aesthetic during the early 20th century. The cat is rendered in clean, angular planes that reduce the subject to its essential form while still capturing its character, a signature approach of cubism. The cream enamel finish adds smoothness and a luminous quality, while the sculptural design rests on a brown rectilinear base, offering contrast and grounding its modernist style with warm, earthy tones. This American-made piece, while practical in its compactness, has an undeniable sculptural presence, making it an excellent decorative item for a mantel, desk, shelf, or display case. The cubist interpretation and minimalist palette speak to Art Deco's fascination with abstraction, geometry, and new materials. A sought-after collectible for admirers of Art Deco sculptures and figurines, this cat sculpture embodies timeless artistry and 1930s design ingenuity—an ideal choice for enhancing contemporary or vintage interiors alike.

Hand-Sculpted French Cubist Abstract Sculpture in Terracotta Signed "Philip"
Located in New York, NY
This sophisticated and alluring Mid-Century Modern Sculpture was realized in France circa 1950. Executed in terra cotta with a oil rubbed bronze colored glaze, the work presents an abstract and dynamic form- bristling with verve. An elongated form rises from an elliptical base offering both smooth and curvilinear aspects as well as faceted ones concluding in a curved tongue-like appendage with a pointed end. Additionally, there is what appears to be a lug or nut cantilevering from side of the piece, suggesting metamorphosis or some kind of animatronic influence. The amorphic form recalls the highly stylized renderings of tools by Lee Lozano...
