About the Item
This deeply felt and beautifully made Mid-Century Modernist Hand-Carved Seated Female Nude Sculpture in Walnut signed Aldo Calo (B. 1910) originates from Italy, C. 1968. A brilliant carved piece, this sculpture features a female nude figure with elongated limbs and crudely hewn hair seated on a grooved seat which emerges from the integral rectilinear base, all carved from the same piece of walnut. Brilliant angular forms and cutouts of negative space are created by the intersection of her bent limbs, one hand covering her mouth as though rapt with emotion, the other cast loosely between her thighs. Her musculature has an uneasy tension, beautifully capturing the tightness and emotionality of her figure. Brilliantly handled and without unnecessary descriptive detail, this sculpture is an incredible example of the versatility and emotional rigor of Aldo Caldo's work and the values of Mid-Century Modernism. Signed on the top surface of the carved base.
This sculpture with its versatile scale will style beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.

View AllHand-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...
