Modernist Female Figural Bronze Sculpture in Style of Sydney Kumalo

About the Item

A wonderful Mid-Century Modernist Abstract sculpture of a female figure in the style of/attributed to renowned South African sculptor/ artist Sydney Kumalo (1935-1988). Kumalo was known for his work in bronze and metals. His main subjects were usually human figures and using elongated forms of the human body to convey certain scenes, emotions, and spiritual feelings. As the work is not signed (except on the base with the artist's incised initials "SK") or numbered we are listing it as in the style of the artist. Kumalo's work can be found today in every major museum and academic collection in South Africa as well as international museums and collections in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Holland, Israel, the United States, Canada, Germany, Colombia, Australia, Italy, and Belgium.

Mexican Dia De Los Muertos Day of the Dead La Catrina Folk Art Figure Sculpture

A quite wonderful Mexican Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos festival held throughout Mexico) La Catrina symbolic skeleton figure. La Catrina is the festival’s most recognizable image/figure.

She often appears in paintings, window displays, and costumes all around Mexico during the Day of the Dead festivities. La Catrina was originally conceived in the early 1900s by newspaper illustrator and printmaker José Guadalupe Posada...
