Anthropomorphic Sculpture by Michel Anasse, France circa 1965

About the Item

This unique sculpture by Michel Anasse embodies the artist's free and expressive universe with poetry and humor. The figure, with its ovoid body and outstretched arms, features a head crowned with spikes reminiscent of a solar mane. The raw treatment of the material, characteristic of Anasse's work, lends the piece an organic, almost primitive vitality. The figure's stance-half playful, half inquisitive-reveals the artist's deep interest in the human form, interpreted with great freedom. Made of hammered and welded iron, the piece shows slight traces of rust. The piece is unsigned. Bibliography: "Michel Anasse - Sculptures & Ceramics, Unique Pieces 1960-1970," T. Fritsch, Editions Thomas Fritsch, 2011.
