"Fruit Carrier, " Large Sculptural Relief in Mahogany with Male Figure, Art Deco
About the Item
Large and impressive, carved in a naive-sophisticated way that suggests folk art as well as WPA sculptures which glorified the worker, this large bas relief depicts a shirtless young man carrying a large basket overflowing with grapes, apples, pears and walnuts. The ripe bounty suggested by the fruit, and the large foliage at his feet, give the feeling of a 1940s supper club featuring a big band and floor show. The sculpture is carved in mahogany.
