About the Item
This pair of male and female brass masks are emblematic of Hagenauer’s highly stylized Art Deco design. The artist’s reductionist approach together with a nod to African tribal shields create an expressive yet reserved style. The mirroring of the objects works flawlessly as the female mask’s eye wanders over to her male counterpart in a flirtatious act. Haganauer experimented a lot with reliefs instead of full volume and these are some of his strongest works.
These are meant to hang on the wall. Delightful presence and expression. Famous family of craftsman in Europe - great history!
