Collection of Antique Hand-Carved Japanese Noh Masks

About the Item

A collection of five hand-made Japanese Noh drama masks, four of them hand-carved wood, and one (the largest, the one that's black and red on one half and white on the other) of papier mache. Largest is 15" x 8.5", smallest measures 8" x 6". Can't decide whether I like the smiling guy or the buck-toothed guy best! I put "20th century" because I simply don't know the age. All in very good condition. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, with our firm guarantee.

  • Winged David (Bronze), ex. Daniel Glaser Estate (New Orleans)
    By Michelangelo
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    A tabletop-sized solid bronze casting of Michelangelo's "Winged David", on a solid marble base. You can see his giant-killer sling "slung" over his shoulder. Fine detail. This came out of a collection of neoclassical grand tour souvenirs, owned by collector Daniel Glaser of New Orleans, Louisiana (from his estate). Back in the day, wealthy travelers in Europe often purchased sculptures and other mementos of the sites they visited. We have several other pieces from this collection in addition to this, including "Discobolus" and a fine gladiator with lance. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art...

  • Midnight - Majestic Sculpture of Mongolian Animal, Altai Argali in Rainbow Color
    By Yulia Shtern
    Located in Gilroy, CA
    "Midnight," is a stunning sculpture by Canadian artist, Yulia Shtern. She as modeled this work after the endangered Mongolian species Altai Argali. The animal is brightly colored, in a rainbow color scheme in this work. She has done a fabulous job of making her subject matter eye catching and dynamic. Shtern styles this series after the tradition of mounting heads by hunters, but instead she gives life to her up-cycled materials and fights against the inhumane act of trophy hanging. Follow our storefront, or message us for more works by Yulia Shtern, and for special pricing. From the artist: "One of the biggest, ugliest truths of our time is that we have been knowingly destroying our planet and killing off its natural life in pursuit of the falsehoods promised by mass consumption. Displaying a trophy of a stuffed dead animal...

  • "CrockChick" sculpture ( 1/1 ) by John Paul Fauves
    By John Paul Fauves
    Located in Culver City, CA
    "CrockChick" sculpture ( 1/1 ) by John Paul Fauves From "Alts iz farloyrn" ("All is lost") series (2019) Metal Composite and Paper Mache "Alts iz farloyrn" ("All is lost") series "Alts iz Farloyrn” – the latest series by John Paul Fauves featuring large-scale mixed media paintings, sculptures, and his famous art masks. Inspired by American idols James Dean and Steve McQueen, "Alts iz Farloyrn,” which translates to "All is Lost," was Steve McQueen’s first ever line on stage and represents Fauves own struggle with losing it all yet discovering his true self. “Alts iz Farloyrn” dives deep into the darkness that surrounded James Dean and Steve McQueen and explores their need to live fast. Through this new series, viewers are reminded that although both men overcame challenges to become the Hollywood elite, they struggled to mentally escape their troubled childhood and demons. Recognized internationally for his Neo-Pop Expressionism, Fauves paintings deal with identity through art, mainstream culture and social media. About this series, Fauves says “I have personally lost it all and what I’ve learned is when you lose it all you can win it all again and create a new beginning!” Presented and curated by JM Art Management...
