Entangled bodies, 1942.
Terracotta sculpture by Giorgio Rossi (1894-1981).
Tuscan Sculptor.
Material: Hand-modeled terracotta by the artist.
Unique piece.

Rossi interprets Woman figure with a synthesis of form typical of late Art Deco, where expressive intensity is conveyed through a balance between stylization and realism.
The use of terracotta aligns with the Tuscan artistic tradition, which, from the Etruscan era to the Renaissance, reflects a strong connection with the land and its rich clay resources in the Florentine and Sienese territories. This bond with the past is fused with the modernity of form, making this sculpture a unique testimony to Rossi’s mature artistic language.
The sculpture is documented in the catalogues of Giorgio Rossi's collections.
Provenance:
Coming directly from the master's legacy to his family, the work has remained in the collection of his heirs, preserved as a testament to Rossi's artistic maturity.
The work reflects the balance between tradition and innovation typical of the late Art Deco period, underlining the artist's ability to blend expressive force and formal refinement.
Condition:
Excellent state of conservation.
Exhibitions:
This work belongs to the period in which Rossi participated in prestigious national exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale (1930, 1936), where his works were praised for their technical quality and ability to interpret modernity without betraying tradition.
Artist Biography:
Giorgio Rossi (1894–1981) was a Tuscan sculptor known for his ability to interpret realism and figurative tradition with a modern sensibility. Born in Florence, he trained at the Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of Antonio Bortone. His works, often made of terracotta and alabaster, are characterized by a synthesis of form that highlights the expressive power of the subject through a refined and modern language.
He participated in prestigious exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale (1930, 1936), receiving praise for the technical quality and originality of his works. For over thirty years, he taught at the Artistic and Industrial School of Volterra, influencing generations of artists and contributing to the artistic renewal of Tuscany. Rossi's works, often from the family legacy, testify to his contribution to 20th-century Italian sculpture, with a vision that combines tradition and innovation, Etruscan roots, and modern sensibility.
