About the Item

Elegant Mid-Century female bust sculpture by Henri Grailhe. A refined mid-20th-century female bust sculpture by French artist Henri Grailhe, known for his expressive figurative works and sensitive treatment of form. This piece portrays a stylized female figure with soft, essential lines that convey both elegance and introspection, characteristic of Grailhe’s sculptural language. Sculpted in chamotte clay with a black patina, with meticulous attention to proportion and silhouette, the bust reveals a harmonious balance between realism and abstraction. The surface is subtly textured, enhancing the play of light across the figure and giving the piece a quiet, timeless presence. Signed on the back, this evocative and intimate work is ideal as a focal point in modern, minimalist, or eclectic interiors. France, 1950s.

Bucchero Ceramic Bust Italian, 1950s
By Gio Ponti
Located in Meer, VAN
'Bucchero' female head / bust attributed to Giò Ponti and Carlo Alberto Rossi. Mid 20th century, Italy. This is a rare and marvelous little mid century ceramic head / bust by Carlo Alberto Rossi after a design attributed to Giò Ponti. Very stylistic and elegant. The ceramic gets its characteristic black color through a special process in which the oxygen is removed from the red clay. So no paint or varnish is used. This is a technique that dates back to the Etruscans. Many works by Carlo Alberto Rossi and his brother – with whom he collaborated – have the characteristic black color. The Rossi brothers collaborated with the famous architect and designer Gio Ponti. Several of his designs – including this head – were executed in the Rossi’s studio. The collaboration was a great success. Some of the works were also shown at the IX Triennale of Milan in 1951. Please note we have a selection of 'Bucchero' pieces by Gubbio artists C. A. Rossi, Sebastiani and Elio Cerbella...
