About the Item
Joseph Goethe was one of America's finest early modernist carvers in wood. He experimented with exotic woods often collected in his native California and from other countries. This form is a non-objective work yet Goethe referred to it as a "head" form. He chose the wood on this piece for its rich and uniform grain. The base is also carved by the artist.
He was exhibited extensively in his time and is in many museums. A native of California he was championed by Stanton MacDonald - Wright who hailed him as a great sculptor.
This is a wonderful piece for a home that has natural and organic elements and forms. Can sit on any table. Elevating and impressive - not heavy. No care needed.
