Set of 2 medieval style architectural sculpted columns, Netherlands 1950s

About the Item

Set of two sculpted architectural columns. They are made from some kind of cast stone or plaster. They were probably meant as fireplace columns seeing the height of 104cm. They have concrete residue so they were actually used. Unfortunately we have no idea of where they came from. They were obtained from a house clearance where they were found in a storage. They are solid and very heavy. Made in medieval style depicting a woman and a man. The 2 statues are both in good used condition. Highly decorative columns that can easily be used as architectural pieces again.

De Stijl consisted of artists and architects. In a more narrow sense, the term De Stijl is used to refer to a body of work from 1917 to 1931 founded in the Netherlands. Proponents of De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal, using only black, white and primary colors. De Stijl is also the name of a journal that was published by the Dutch painter, designer, writer, and critic Theo van Doesburg that served to propagate the group's theories. Along with van Doesburg, the group's principal members were the painters Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszár, Bart van der Leck, and the architects Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van 't Hoff, and J. J. P. Oud. The artistic philosophy that formed a basis for the group's work is known as Neoplasticism—the new plastic art (or Nieuwe Beelding in Dutch). According to Theo van Doesburg in the introduction of the magazine De Stijl 1917 no.1, the "De Stijl"-movement was a reaction to the "Modern Baroque" of the Amsterdam School movement (Dutch expressionist...
