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.

Hand-Sculpted French Cubist Abstract Sculpture in Terracotta Signed "Philip"
Located in New York, NY
This sophisticated and alluring Mid-Century Modern Sculpture was realized in France circa 1950. Executed in terra cotta with a oil rubbed bronze colored glaze, the work presents an abstract and dynamic form- bristling with verve. An elongated form rises from an elliptical base offering both smooth and curvilinear aspects as well as faceted ones concluding in a curved tongue-like appendage with a pointed end. Additionally, there is what appears to be a lug or nut cantilevering from side of the piece, suggesting metamorphosis or some kind of animatronic influence. The amorphic form recalls the highly stylized renderings of tools by Lee Lozano...
