Signed M. Lima Abstract Bronze and Glass Bookends, Nude Profiles
About the Item
Signed M. Lima Abstract Bronze and Glass Bookends, Nude Profiles, circa Late 20th Century
A striking pair of sculptural bookends by M. Lima, featuring polished cast bronze reliefs mounted on black glass and marble bases. Executed in an expressive abstracted style, each piece depicts the stylized backside of a seated nude figure, their contoured silhouettes forming a dynamic composition suggestive of fluid movement and anatomical structure.
Rendered in gleaming polished bronze, the figures appear both anatomical and totemic—evocative of midcentury abstraction and postmodern figuration. The gold-toned surface reflects light dramatically, creating contrast against the deep black of the glass backplates and stone bases. Signed M. Lima in the cast.
Measuring 9 inches high by 7 inches wide and 2 inches deep, each bookend functions both as a weighty, functional object and as a sculptural artwork in its own right. This pair makes a bold statement on a bookshelf, console, or desk, any interior.
