ProfessionalProduct description
Artemis, Greek goddess of the hunt, wild nature, and protector of animals, is represented here in a resolutely modernist interpretation, very far removed from traditional antique statuary. The goddess is recognized by her emblematic attribute, the bow, which she holds with a sweeping gesture. Her body stretches into a slender, almost hieratic silhouette, while the face and limbs are deliberately simplified. The artist does not seek realism but line, movement, and the strength of the symbol. This way of reinterpreting great figures of Antiquity is particularly characteristic of the decorative arts of the second half of the 20th century. Archaizing and almost primitive forms meet here with a modernist aesthetic that gives this small sculpture a great deal of personality. Crafted in bronze, the statuette has a beautiful material quality. Its deep and irregular verdigris patina reveals, in places, the warm, golden tones of the metal. These contrasts emphasize the volumes and offer a slightly different interpretation of the sculpture from each viewing angle. Standing at approximately 13.5 cm tall, Artemis remains a small-format piece yet possesses a striking presence. On a console, nestled among old books, in a library, or paired with brutalist and modernist objects, it immediately becomes a captivating focal point in the decor. A singular evocation of Greek mythology, seen through the free and graphic gaze of the 20th century. Height approximately 13.5 cm.
