About the Item

A figurative sculpture representing a stylized male figure, made of solid wood and displaying an antique dark brown to black patina, evidence of long aging. The figure is distinguished by its slender proportions, clean lines, and geometric face, characteristic of the influences of traditional African art as interpreted in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. Mounted on a metal base, this sculpture exudes a strong, primal presence, evoking primitivism and the growing interest of artists and collectors in African art during the 1920s. Key Features : Figurative male sculpture Hand-carved solid wood Antique dark brown/black patina Metal base Inspired by traditional African art French decorative production, circa 1920 Style: Primitive Art / Primitivism Strong sculptural presence and authentic character Keywords : African wood sculpture, antique wooden male sculpture, French primitive art, decorative tribal sculpture, antique patinated wood, 1920s sculpture, African art inspiration, antique decorative object, figurative wood sculpture
