About the Item

This captivating Art Deco bronze bust of a male figure is a striking example of the elegance and craftsmanship characteristic of the 1930s. The piece, sculpted by renowned Belgian artist Johannes Dommisse, captures the dignified features and strong lines of the male subject in a style that reflects the streamlined and modern aesthetic of the Art Deco period. The detailed bronze bust rests atop a polished nero marquina marble base, which beautifully complements the warm patina of the bronze and provides a stable and elegant platform for display. Dommisse’s signature is on the back undersurface of the bronze, affirming its authenticity and origin. Reminiscent of classical figures and poses such as David, the glance and windswept hair create a dynamic emotional reading. The clavical and musculature are stunningly depicted, with a contrapposto evident despite the sculpture ending at the chest, an impressive feat of gestural expression and command of the human figure. This sculpture is not only a reflection of the period’s celebrated artistic movements but also a timeless work of art suitable for collectors and lovers of Art Deco design. A rare and collectible work, this sculpture captures the refined artistry of the Art Deco period and showcases Dommisse’s talent for blending classical form with modernist sensibilities. A stunning work that will style beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.

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...
