Item Description
This superb black ceramic sculpture perfectly illustrates the revival of sacred art and the minimalist aesthetic of the 1960s. Strongly inspired by the work of Georges Jouve and the great post-war ceramists, this piece breaks away from traditional representations to offer a purely abstract and spiritual vision of the Marian figure.
Standing an impressive 35 cm tall on a 12 cm diameter circular base, the sculpture commands attention with the organic fluidity of its lines. The artist has captured the essence of a contemplative attitude through a single, enveloping curve, evoking the drape of a protective mantle. The deliberate absence of facial features reinforces the universal, timeless, and silent character of the work. The treatment of the ceramic, covered in a beautiful deep, slightly satin black glaze, perfectly highlights the purity of the modeling.
Offered in excellent vintage condition, this sculptural piece possesses an undeniable decorative power. It will integrate elegantly into a contemporary or mid-century modern interior, displayed on a sideboard, in a lit alcove, or on a console table, bringing a touch of serenity and radical modernity.
