Modigliani Head of Caryatid Bronze Metal Sculpture Statue Abstract Modern Art Figure
Description
Total Dimensions: Height 14'' x Width 4'' Approximate Weight: 8 LBS Original Reproduction: ReproductionAmedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor who studied art in Italy before settling in Paris in 1906. In 1908, he exhibited several paintings at the Salon des Indépendants, and in 1912 he followed the advice of Constantin Brancusi and began studying African sculpture. He then exhibited 12 stone heads characterized by simplified and elongated forms that reflected African influence. Modigliani's portraits and nudes are known for their asymmetry of composition, elongation of the figure, and simplification of outline, which reflect the style of his sculpture. By minimizing chiaroscuro, he achieved a sculptural quality through the strength of his contours and the richness of juxtaposed colors. His work also reflects his lifelong admiration for Italian Renaissance masters, as well as the influence of Paul Cézanne and Brancusi. In 1917, Modigliani began painting a series of female nudes, which are among his best works. These paintings feature warm, glowing colors and sensuous, rounded forms. Unfortunately, Modigliani died of tuberculosis at the young age of 35. His legacy lives on as a master of modern art who deftly blended influences from different traditions and created a unique and recognizable style.

FAQ's
What material are your sculptures made out of?
All of our sculptures are made from100% hot cast bronze, and handmade in the ancient lost wax casting method. We never sell cheap cold cast sculptures or resins!
What is the difference between hot cast and cold cast bronzes?
Hot cast bronze is created by pouring a molten metal mixture into a mold. Before the metal can be poured, our artists must first create the mold on a medium such as clay, rubber, or wood. Each mold allows for a limited number of pours, and therefore a limited amount of sculptures can be created in any given round of production before the mold is destroyed and the artist must create a new mold.
Cold cast is actually made from resins and plastics which are painted over. They are cheaper, lighter, and less durable.
Generally speaking, hot cast bronzes are very time consuming and limited in their production, whereas cold cast resins can be mass produced and are inexpensive to create.
