About the Item

Pair of Art Deco dove-shaped bookends, made of wood and resin in the 1930s Ø cm 15 Ø cm 9 h cm 15 The dove, a universal symbol of peace and purity, found a new expression in Art Deco, an artistic movement that fascinated the world with its geometric lines, bright colors and stylized shapes. In Art Deco, the dove is often depicted in a stylized manner, with particular attention to geometric shapes and sinuous lines. The wings can be stylized in the shape of a fan or sun rays, while the body can take on more square or rounded shapes. The dove is often represented in a stylized way, with clean lines and geometric shapes. In addition to peace, the dove can symbolize freedom, love and hope. In the interwar years, there was a strong desire for peace and harmony, and the dove, a symbol with positive and universal meaning recognized throughout the world, perfectly represented these ideals.

Bronze Sculpture of Two Lovers by Virgilio Guidi, 1970s
By Virgilio Guidi
Located in Milano, MI
Bronze sculpture realized by Virgilio Guidi in the 1970s, representing two lovers. The sculpture is in very good conditions, the wood base has some fades and minor tracks of time. Virgilio Guidi (Rome, April 4, 1891 - Venice, January 7, 1984) was an Italian painter, poet and essayist. The one who has been called the poet of light has followed complex but coherent research paths, within a figuration that sometimes reaches the limit of abstraction. In short, Guidi affirms himself as an undisputed protagonist of the Italian artistic life. Particularly significant was the participation in the exhibition "Ten artists of the Italian twentieth century", set up by Margherita Sarfatti...
