Brutalist Abstract Bronze Sculpture on Tall Black Marble Plinth Dutch 1980's

About the Item

One of a two of Brutalist abstract sculptures by Dutch artist Rien Goené (1929-2013) circa 1980, signed. The asymmetrical concertina shaped bronze sculpture is colored with a light green patina. Where areas are rubbed back they reveal the warm bronze underneath. This experiment was part of series sculptural possibilities giving the effect of paper folding and uneven pleating. It is explored further by the unique deep textured patina on the surface areas. Both sculptures are installed on a polished black Belgium marble (hollow) plinth of the same size.

Bronze Bust Sculpture on Marble Plinth
Located in London, GB
This strikingly naturalistic bronze sculpture was created in Florence in 1895. The bust depicts an elderly man, most likely a farm worker, carrying a heavy sack of grain over his shoulder. He wears an old slightly ragged shirt which is open at his chest, revealing his thin body underneath. The man looks out into the distance on the left, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. His mouth is open as though he is breathing heavily with the strain of the work or calling out to someone unknown to the viewer. The sculptor has accurately rendered every detail, with great truth to reality. The faint stubble on the man's chin and the wrinkles on his face and hands are faithfully portrayed. In its naturalistic style and its everyday, unidealised subject-matter, this bronze may be described as a work of Realism. The Realist movement flourished in the arts in Europe in this period, the 19th Century. The bust is signed ‘G Rossi...
