This Beautiful Bronze Beauty is full of fabulous Jim Bass SASS!!!! Isn’t it PHENOMENAL??? We certainly think so!! It’s always extra fun when we get to give a little shout-out to a local Topeka, Kansas sculptor/artist that gained national fame through his accomplished career creating masterpieces such as this incredible bronze sculpture!! It is composed of a Cubist style bronze figure with block colorization boasting rich colors of red, aqua, gold, and white mounted upon a lovely rectangular walnut block base, signed and dated on the bottom. It is titled “Homage to Nancy Keith” and it is #2 of 8 editions. Fun Fact… Cubist is an early 20th Century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting & sculpture developed primarily by Pablo Picasso & Georges Braque. It challenged traditional artistic notions and contexts and paved the way for abstract art! This fantastic Jim Bass sculpture has features and structures much in the manner of Pablo Picasso bearing a sense of depth, multiple perspectives, abstract features, and geometric form… it’s ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS!!! It is going to be incredible on a sofa or console table in your living room, upon a shelf or the mantle above the fireplace, or anywhere in your home that needs a touch of Cubist style MAGNIFICENCE!!! Jim Bass was born in Topeka, Kansas in 1933 where he graduated from Topeka High School and The University of Kansas. He went to Mexico where he studied lost-wax casting, married his wife & fellow artist Jean Ison, and together they crafted a beautiful home in Kansas, raised their two children, and built Bass Studios & Foundry. They made their home an artist’s haven where they & family created sculptures, art, tapestries, furniture, & gained National fame & notification. He was a renowned master at his craft of sketching, sculpting, and bronze work. For over six decades he refined his bronze work with many sculptures throughout the Midwest where he has countless public works on display. He lost his wife in 2011 but he continued creating highly skilled artwork and sculptures, served at the First Congressional Church, and lead the Auburn Boy Scout Troop 117 for 23 years. Mr. Bass passed away at 86 in 2020.

Susan Tibbles Life Sized Art Assemblage “Master Lock” Framed Sculpture Distresse
By Susan Tibbles
Located in Topeka, KS
Magnificent Susan Tibbles life sized 3-diminsional art assemblage titled “Master Lock” framed sculpture in purposefully distressed display case or shadow box. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, the bottom left corner of frame was broken and a new piece was glued in by our experienced staff. Frame is purposefully distressed. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1989. The definition of a woman? SHE is complicated… SHE is strong… when she isn’t feeling weak. SHE is happy… when she isn’t feeling sad. SHE can do anything placed in front of her… if she can get out of bed. SHE is bold and daring… but sometimes she feels simple. SHE is independent… but sometimes she needs you. She doesn’t want to “blend in” … but she’s judged if she “stands out.” SHE is too old to wear this and too young to wear that. She is too fat; she is too thin… She is your best friend… but SHE is her own worst enemy. She is aged longing for her youth… she is young longing for adulthood. SHE has been labeled as mother, grandmother, wife, girlfriend, partner, daughter, sister… but WHO is SHE to herself?? If SHE is strong willed… she is a b**ch. If SHE is sexy or seductive… she is a tramp. If SHE is reserved… she is a prude. She doesn’t care… but she really cares TOO much! If she could see herself as others do, she would see that SHE is a creation of perfection. Exactly who she is supposed to be. Unique. Individual. Irreplaceable. Definition of a woman? SHE is a masterpiece… but SHE is complicated. We have an incredible life-sized art assemblage created by renowned designer Susan Tibbles for your viewing pleasure! This piece is titled “Master Lock,” and was custom made and hand crafted by Susan Tibbles in 1989. It is composed of a masterfully sculpted and crafted 3-diminsional woman’s silver negligee, thigh high fish net stockings with lock details on the thigh straps, black spiked stiletto heels, and a silver beaded & spiked neck collar with a ring attached to a full-length chain draping from the collar to a hook at the top of the case. The chain hangs down to the base of the case where it gathers between the spiked heels. SASSY!! The sculpture stands in front of a black leather-like back drop inside a monumental black and white display case...
