ABSTRACT ‘BRUTALIST’ METAL SCULPTURE
PERIOD: 1950 – 1960
MEASUREMENTS: W 171 H 64 D 15 CM
PRICE: SOLD
Impressive brutalist wall sculpture made out of deeply textured rough parts of iron and brass.
This wonderful wall sculpture evokes the pure, ‘naive’ and unsophisticated stylings and patterns of Dutch 1950ies art movements such as ‘Cobra’. By methods of torch cut-and-welding steel the artist has composed an abstract construction from various geometric shapes and small parts.
The term ‘Brutalism’ ( derives from the French word brut, meaning raw ) was coined to describe an architectural movement that emerged in the fifties of the 20th century. It has been adopted by the realms of art and design to refer to expressive, attention grabbing ‘naive’ creations made of rough, high relief materials that forms a contrast with the polished, smooth and sophisticated ( related artists are Paul Evans, Henrik Horst and Paul Kingma ).
A perfect complementary centre piece for a ‘mix and match’ interior and to stand out all the ‘minimal’ design furniture in your home. Very solid made, quite heavy. Condition; beautiful oxidized due to element exposure and age.
