Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR
Miguel BERROCAL (1933-2006) « Amaggio Ad Arcimboldo », Opus 167 (1976-1979); Sculpture puzzle en bronze doré poli composée de 30 éléments. Fonte à la cire perdue. Signé 'Berrocal' et numérotée xxx/1000. Edition limité de 8 oeuvres originales en argent massif numérotées de I/VIII à VIII/VIII + 1000 exemplaires en bronze poli, dont seulement 783 ont été fondus. Bon état de la sculpture. Fourni avec livret d'instructions pour le montage/démontage et certificat de la Fondation Berrocal. Dimensions : Hauteur 29 cm x Largeur L 19 cm x Profondeur 15 cm. Bibliographie : Antologica Berrocal 1955-1984, Opus 167. Extrait de la monographie BERROCAL, Jean-Louis Ferrier. Editions de la Différence, Paris, 1989. ISBN 2-7291-0467-4. Pages 24-25 : Parmi beaucoup d'autres sculptures, son "OMAGGIO AD ARCIMBOLDO", est, de ce point de vue, une réussite complète. Arcimboldo, on le sait, est l'un des artistes les plus énigmatiques de l'histoire de la peinture. Né en 1527 à Milan, il passa 26 ans à Prague où il fut au service, successivement, des empereurs Ferdinand Ier et Rodolphe II, qui le couvrit d'or et d'honneurs. Les têtes composées qu'il a peintes en grand nombre combinent métophoriquement des fruits, des fleurs, des légumes, des racines, des poissons... L'ensemble s'y exprime à chaque fois par des groupes de transformation : ce sont des livres qui font "LE BIBLIOTHECAIRE", la souche, le lierre, les champignons, symboles de la saison morte qui font "L'HIVER". Plus que de la simple bizarrerie, les têtes d'Arcimboldo procèdent d'un affleurement comporable à celui des photos aériennes dont les anomalies végétales montrent les ruines qu'elles ne sont pas. Les contemporains...

Antique, New and Vintage Figurative Sculptures

Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.

Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.

There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.

When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.

On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.
