Enigmatic Tall Stone And Iron Semi-Figurative Sculpture
About the Item
Standing tall, the "Wise Man" sculpture showcases a fusion of materials and the exploration of the human spirit. The juxtaposition of stone and iron evokes a sense of timeless wisdom and enduring strength. The creamy hues of the stone contrast with the weathered, rusty iron tones.
No signature visible.
This semi-figurative sculpture has a brutalist flair. Its stone face, with an enigmatic and asymmetric expression, invites contemplation, hinting at the complexity and depth of human experience. The deliberate presence of a rectangular slot within the head serves as a thought-provoking invitation to collaboration between artist and beholder, encouraging the infusion of personal creativity into the piece.
Whether adorned with a delicate creeper plant symbolizing growth and vitality or a mirror reflecting the world's ever-shifting perspectives, the "Wise Man" invites introspection and dialogue. It prompts us to contemplate the profound interplay between art, nature, and the human psyche.

Honorio García Condoy Carved Stone Figurative Sculpture
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Honorio Garcia Condoy (b. Honorio Garcia, 1900, Zaragoza, d. 1953 Madrid) figurative sculpture in carved stone depicting a faceless virgin (ca. 1930s).
A contemporary and close friend of Picasso, Condoy drew a lot of inspiration from the shapes and composition of Cubism. Though this particular sculpture is from a body of work heavily influenced by Roman churches and symbolism. The half-standing, half-sitting Virgin, the flat heads, the erased faces - these attributes of Roman art are all present in this piece. The featureless, flat-skulled virgin figure enveloped in a self-embrace is perched in a half-sitting/half-kneeling pose.
This piece is from a well-documented series (near identical example is seen on page 91 of Raymond Creuze's "Honorio Condoy").
Unsigned.
Excellent, vintage condition with light patina/scattered light scratches, but no damage/losses.
H: 37.5" x L: 12 x D: 14"
Reference: Raymond Creuze "Honorio Condoy" (French, 1973).
Reference book is included with the sculpture.
From the collection of a prominent French collector whose London flat...
