Mid Century Painted Plaster Bust of a Men on a Marble Bust, around 1976
About the Item
This mid-century painted plaster bust, created around 1976 by late German artist Jens Schleede, presents a compelling portrait of a man rendered with expressive realism and sculptural finesse. Resting on a solid marble base, the contrast between the textured plaster and smooth stone enhances its visual impact. The bust captures subtle facial features and emotion, with hand-painted details adding depth and personality. Schleede, known for his sensitive and introspective works, infused this piece with a quiet strength and human presence. The work reflects mid-century artistic sensibilities—balancing realism with abstraction and personal expression. As a posthumous representation of Schleede’s sculptural legacy, this rare bust stands as a testament to his artistic vision and technical skill. It is both a striking decorative piece and a meaningful artifact of German mid-century figurative art.
A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior.
