An important deconstructed cubist ceramic male torso, signed by artist, 20th c.

About the Item

A monumental deconstructed ceramic male torso, signed by artist, 20th century. In tones of burnt pêche, apricot, and sienna, this stunning sculpture epitomizes cubism in three dimensional form, with its jutting angles and compartmentalized structure. Rarely have we seen Picasso’s cubist legacy carried on so eloquently. And yet, implicitly of course, we are inarguably reminded of the enduring busts and torsos of neoclassicism, at once physically familiar and eerily - headlessly - alienating, timeless in their stone and clay and yet a reminder of our mortality in their ruins. Little is known of the artist, who signed his work «KV», and yet it is clear this artwork is truly the work of a masterful ceramist and sculptor. Pick up in central west Los Angeles or we do ship worldwide. 18” width x 10” depth x 18.25” height
