About the Item
Handsome and important, this glazed ceramic sculpture of a standing half-nude male, dressed in a pair of pants held up by a rope for a belt, was sculpted by Brents Carlton in the 1930s. The artist bathed the figure in a dark, charcoal-grey glaze, and shows the figure in a placid state of mind, his arms crossed behind his back. Carlton was born in New Mexico, studied in California and New York, and settled down in San Francisco where he pursued two careers as a sculptor and pharmacist. He proposed a pair of sculptures that would be positioned outside Coit Tower in 1934, but the Public Works of Art program shut down soon thereafter, and the project was never realized. He created large sculptures for the Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco in 1939-40, but most of his work was on a much smaller scale, such as this example. The piece is signed on the bottom.
