Mid-Century Hand-Carved Seated Female Nude Sculpture in Walnut signed Aldo Calo
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.

Albert Leon Wilson Signed Mid-Century Modern Nude Female Abstract Sculpture
By Albert Leon Wilson
Located in Studio City, CA
A fantastic, quite whimsical, engaging Mid-century Modern abstract female nude sculpture by New York artist Albert Leon Wilson. This is one of the best pieces we have come across of his work.
Wilson was born in 1920 in Jamaica, New York. In the mid-1950s he relocated to Rochester, New York, where he worked until 1967 as an art director, illustrator, and photographer, winning over 20 graphic art awards from the Rochester Society of Communicating Artists. Afterward, he found his calling working with welded and bent metals and designing abstract sculptures often featuring figures and animals. He passed away in 1999.
The sculpture is signed and dated (1968) with Wilson's traditional imprint/stamp.
Wilson's work has been exhibited at the York State Craft Fair, Ithaca College, NY; Northeast Craft Fair, Am. Craftmen's Council, Mount Snow...
