"Greek Soldier" Attenuated Nude Male Figure - Mid Century
About the Item
Showing the twin influences of pre-Classical Greek sculpture and Diego Giacometti, this attenuated bronze sculpture of a nude Greek soldier, complete with brass spear, was the mid-century equivalent of a Grand Tour bronze, collected by visitors and tourists in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. It is the merging of primitive and sensual, the soldier posing in a confident way that suggests he owns the world.
