Minimalist bronze sculpture / portrait / bust of a woman by Adam Antes
About the Item
An exquisite original Art Deco period, stylized bronze sculpture of a woman with wavy hair in a medium brown patina. The stamped signature and the date "Antes 1922" is prominently displayed on the right side of the bust.
The portrait composition primarily focuses on the front view, emphasizing the elongated beauty of the subject's face, reminiscent of figures often seen in works by Modigliani.
This aesthetic approach, in the feeling of the Austrian, Jugendstil, Wiener Werkstätte, Secessionist, Bauhaus style, lends a sensual and uniquely alluring quality to the piece.
The sculpture rests on its original marble base, presenting an impeccable presentation with a strong emphasis on the front-facing perspective yielding abstraction and functionalism.
This bronze is a beautiful casting created by the sand casting method which can be seen in the concave back side.

Adam Antes, a sculptor and graphic artist, tragically lost many of his works during the ravages of war in 1944. His artistic journey, which began in the 1930s, saw him creating numerous aircraft models that blended art and technology in the spirit of the Bauhaus movement. Post-war, he found his new home in Worms, Germany.
In addition to his sculptural pursuits, he occasionally delved into graphic art. Antes' artistic foundation included training as a stonemason and a period of study at the Technical University of Darmstadt. It was during this time that he became a part of the artists' colony on the Mathildenhöhe, establishing his own studio. Notably, he was one of the founding members of the Darmstadt Secession.
Among his closest companions were renowned German writer Carl Zuckmayer, with whom he maintained a deep correspondence, and Kasimir Edschmid, who facilitated his journey to Darmstadt, marking a significant chapter in Antes' artistic career.

- Roman Portrait Bust of a Noble WomanLocated in London, GBRoman miniature bust of a noble woman, carved marble, Severan Dynasty, c. 225 A.D. Rare and particularly elegant ‘wig portrait’ of a noble woman, belonging to the early 3rd Century - a style distinctive of Severan Dynasty female portrait busts, in which part of the head has been chiselled away to allow for the addition of a separate hairpiece, in many cases from a darker material, in order to create an almost painterly effect, in the interplay of different coloured stones. The degree of naturalism and emotional depth achieved in a piece of such a small scale implies a sculptor of great talent. The subtle parting of the lips, in combination with her upturned, vacant gaze and tired eyes, conveys a pensive mood, and even a quiet melancholy. A woman strolls the town in thick wigs bought with gold, Then buys new hair to complement the old. And having bought, she doesn’t blush! Right there she buys, Before Alcides’ and the Muses’ eyes. (Ovid, Ars Amatoria, III, 161-168) The fashion of wig-wearing in this period, as well as its emulation in the wig portrait bust, is widely attributed to Julia Domna...Category
