Mid-Century Modern Terracotta Sculpture by Bengt Amundin, 1950s Sweden
About the Item
Rare and evocative Swedish Modernist sculpture by renowned sculptor Bengt Amundin (1915-2011), depicting an intimate moment between a reclining adult figure and child. Hand-crafted in unglazed terracotta with a warm, natural patina that highlights the organic quality of the material.
Created in 1955, this distinctive mid-century sculpture beautifully showcases Amundins characteristic style of rhythmic compositions and rounded forms. The piece demonstrates the artist's exceptional mastery of sculptural volume and human form. Having studied at both the School of Arts and Crafts in Gothenburg and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, Amundin's mastery of sculptural volume is beautifully expressed in this work.
This original sculpture carries Amundin's signature and date mark, confirming its provenance. A collectible that represents an important period in Swedish 20th century art and design.
