About the Item

Important Sculpture of a Female Body, Cedar and Oak, Brutalism, France, Circa 1970 We are pleased to present an impressive sculpture of a female nude crafted from cedar wood, resting on an oak base, signed by the artist "Seillé M." This powerful piece, dating from the 1960s-1970s, is part of the Brutalist movement, characterized by expressive strength, raw forms, and natural textures. Artwork Details: Period: Circa 1970 Style: Brutalism, with a sculptural approach that emphasizes raw material and organic forms. Signed: "Seillé M" on the base. Materials: Cedar wood for the sculpture, oak base. Dimensions: Length: 90 cm Width: 21 cm Height: 31 cm Weight: Approximately 40 kgs – a heavy and imposing piece, perfect for an exhibition space or contemporary art collection. Description of the Artwork: This sculpture depicts a female nude, a figure that is both raw and elegant, shaped from cedar wood. The artist, in a Brutalist approach, has captured the essence of the human body while respecting the material, enhancing its veins and natural textures. The oak base contrasts beautifully with the sensuality and fluidity of the female form, thereby strengthening the visual impact and solidity of the work. Condition: The artwork is in good general condition, with a natural patina that attests to its authenticity and age. It is important to note that, as a piece sculpted from raw materials, natural imperfections and marks from its time further highlight the unique character of this work.

It will find its place in a contemporary art collection or exhibition space seeking pieces of character.
