Modern Sculptures

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

21st Century Marble Abstract Sculpture TRILOGUE by Bernard Varvat from France
Located in Paris, FR
Mr. Bernard VARVAT has been exhibited in the the most famous collector's Gallery of Paris and is now available on 1stDibs in exclusivity. Seek the Monograph: « Au fil du temps Bernard Varvat sculptor », Editions Lelivredart, 2020. “My work is focused on the search for forms and two forms are at the base of this search, the triangle and the curve, playing their participation alone or in association. The translation of my emotions leads to an abstract work. Abstraction places us outside our habits of thought; we cannot appeal to our ability to recognize; we must only refer to our own experiences and allow ourselves to rediscover first sensations, emotions. To go further than the imitation of the forms we have in front of us is for me the true creation. Our capacity to perceive is much broader than we think; but we must devote attention to it and allow ourselves the freedom to look at the work as it is, to accept what it gives us to think, according to our personal journey – this is a parenthesis of truth.” Born in 1944 • Lives and works in Provence in Bouc-Bel-Air • Regional Delegate Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur of the Syndicat national des sculpteurs et plastic surgeons (SNSP) • Member and Director of the National Society of Fine Arts (SNBA) • ADAGP Sculpture Award – 2012 • 1st Prize of Sculpture of the Grand Prix d'Argenson, Paris – 2002...

A Bronze Wall Sculpture of a Bomber Jacket by Scott Hanson
Located in Lambertville, NJ
A unique patinated bronze sculpture in the form of a 1940's leather bomber jacket hanging on a wall mounted coat rack. The 1940's bomber jacket. It is one of the few items that has really transcended both fashion and trends. People are wearing these jackets today in the same way they have for the last six decades. It's a symbol of freedom, of the rebel in us, or a certain kind of social stigma, a certain attitude. Hanson chooses to isolate and immortalize a man's leather jacket. The choice becomes a comment on the power in our culture of image per se. A comment on the ascendance of personal style and image, via our possessions and fashion, to a consuming culture value. Seemingly casually tossed over a hook, yet frozen there in bronze, the jacket evokes an entire range of masculine stereotypes celebrated by the media-cowboys, mavericks and rebels of our time. The open road, macho bravado, rugged individuality, sex appeal. Yet the presence of this lone jacket equally evokes the very personal, if anonymous, history of its wearer. Like the cast-form-life sculpture of George Segal, it expresses mystery, even poignancy, of its owners absence. As in much of Hanson's art, this culture manages both to critique and also to value such material icons of our culture. Scott Hanson...
