C. 1970 Italian Erotic/Phalic Wood and Black Lacquer Cane with Penis Handle

About the Item

Circa 1970 Post-Modern italian erotic/phalic wood and black lacquer cane with penis handle By: unknown Material: wood, lacquer, paint, enamel Technique: carved, lacquered, painted, hand-painted, enameled, hand-carved, blackened Dimensions: 2 in x 1.5 in x 30.5 in Date: late 20th century, circa 1970 Style: Post-Modern, Space Age Place of origin: Italy This is a late 20th century Post-Modern italian walking stick crafted from wood and coated in glossy black lacquer. The piece exhibits an erotic, phallic theme with a penis-shaped handle. The anonymous artist employed traditional carving and lacquering techniques to create this provocative object. As a prime example of post-modernism's tendency to challenge taboos and subvert artistic norms, this cane playfully experiments with sexuality and desire through symbolic form. The juxtaposition of erotic imagery with a functional accessory encapsulates the Post-Modern impulse to blend high and low culture.
