About this seller
Product description
Beautiful vintage wooden object, a hand-carved sculpture, head, or bust. The sculpture is crafted from a solid piece of oak.
This wooden object fits perfectly within the modernist and brutalist style of the 1970s.
The sculpture is characterized by raw, geometric forms and a focus on the natural texture of the material, which is typical of brutalist art.
The highly stylized facial features — such as the deep indentations for the eyes and the angular nose — are reminiscent of the work of expressionists like Herman Bieling, who often created 'wooden heads' in a similar style.
The style is a fusion of modern abstraction and the powerful visual language of traditional African woodcarving, a major source of inspiration for artists in this movement.
The piece is unsigned.
Light signs of wear consistent with age.
