Art Déco Sculpture in Precious White Marble of Carrara, Nude Woman, Italy 1920s
About the Item
This sculpture fits beautifully into the Art Deco period, a style that flourished internationally from the 1920s to the 1940s. Art Deco is known for its elegance, glamour, and modernity, often incorporating luxurious materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The period also saw a return to figural representation in art, albeit with a modern twist, as seen in this sculpture.
The use of Carrara marble, renowned for its quality and history, speaks to the artist's desire to connect with the classical traditions of sculpture while embracing contemporary aesthetics. Carrara marble has been lauded since antiquity, with Michelangelo's "David" being one of the most famous works carved from it. The contrast created by the dark green marble base accentuates the pure, smooth lines of the white marble figure, demonstrating a keen eye for composition.
This piece's depiction of a nude female figure captures the timeless fascination with the human form, particularly the female form, which has been a central subject in art throughout history. The serene facial expression and contemporaneous hairstyle anchor the piece firmly in its early 20th-century context, while the sinuous, youthful lines of the body reflect both classical ideals and Art Deco's embrace of modernism.
The detailed features, like the slight smile and the hair styled according to the fashion of the time, suggest that the artist was well-versed in both technical skill and the subtleties of human expression. These small but significant details elevate the work beyond mere representation, imbuing it with personality and emotion.
Even though the sculpture lacks a signature or definitive attribution, the quality suggests it was created by a proficient and perhaps even renowned sculptor of the time. The challenge posed by creating detailed, expressive figures on a smaller scale underscores the artist's proficiency and attention to detail.
Such a piece would indeed be a valuable addition to any art collection, not only for its aesthetic and historical value but also for the craftsmanship and beauty it exudes. It stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the human form and the timeless appeal of quality materials paired with skilled artistry.
