Abstract terracotta sculpture from the 1950s with a French origin.

About the Item

This terracotta sculpture from the 1950s originates from a workshop in the south of France. Despite a few minor imperfections, it perfectly embodies the artistic spirit of that era. Its aesthetic is reminiscent of Jean Arp’s style, featuring organic forms and a harmonious blend of abstraction and nature-inspired elements. It reflects the creative energy of its time, influenced by both modernist and surrealist movements. Its stunning graphite patina enhances its authenticity and historical significance. Mounted on a marble and brass base, it showcases the craftsmanship and artistic sensibility of the period.
