Mid-Century Modern Brutalist Vase by Angelo Bragalini
About the Item
Angelo Bragalini was born in 1913 and raised in Bologna. He studied architecture, fine and applied arts in Rome, Venice and Firenze. His talent and passion for sculpture were quickly recognized and won him important commissions throughout his career. Aside from sculpture and graphics, Bragalini also focused on metalwork and was a proficient goldsmith. Technical skill and artistic flair are both characteristic of his highly expressive pieces. One of his most famous admirers was the film director Federico Fellini, who commissioned the artist to create about thirty sculptures and set pieces for iconic films. He was awarded first prizes for goldsmithery in Firenze: he made gold work for the Vatican. Despite his fame, Bragalini preferred to continue working out of the public eye in Bologna, where he died in 1994.
The process of hand hammering the copper gives this tray a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship, highlighting the malleability and intrinsic beauty of the material. The brutalist style, popular in the mid-20th century with designs that celebrate the intrinsic qualities of the materials used, the hammered copper surfaces create visual interest through their texture and play of light, while the organic shapes evoke a sense of natural fluidity and of movement.
