Parastone Bv Amedeo Modigliani: Large Pink Tête Sculpture
75.95 USD
An artful gift for the museum lover. This striking tête or head sculpture pays homage to the abstracted likenesses created by Amedeo Modigliani (Italian, 1884-1920). In 1909, after Modigliani met Constantin Brancusi (French, b. Romania, 1876-1957), he began carving stone sculptures in the form of stylized, elongated heads, producing about 25 in total. His sculptures, like his painted portraits, draw heavily from African, ancient Cycladic, Sumerian, Egyptian, and Greek art.
Parastone Bv Female Fertility Figure Sculpture
49.95 USD
This small resin reproduction depicts an akua ba figure, one of the most recognizable forms in African art. Consecrated by priests, such figures are carried by women who hope to conceive a child. The flat, disk-like head is an exaggerated convention of the Akan ideal of beauty, while the sculpture's flattened shape allows it to be carried against a woman's back, wrapped in her skirt. The rings on the figure's neck signify beauty, health, and prosperity in Akan culture. After influencing pregnancy, akua ba are often returned to shrines as offerings to the spirits who responded to the appeals for a child. A collection of figures becomes an advertisement for the spirits' ability to help women conceive. Families also keep akua ba as memorials to a child or children; the figures become family heirlooms that evoke a loved one.
Parastone Bv François Pompon: Owl Mini Sculpture
39.95 USD
This small resin mini sculpture was inspired by a delightful chouette (owl) sculpture by François Pompon (French, 1855-1933), a one-time assistant to Auguste Rodin. The artist abstracted the bird's rounded form by smoothing the body and removing most anatomical detail. Between 1918 and 1923, he created several variations on this avian theme in wood, plaster, and bronze, returning to the owl subject again in 1926. Pompon produced numerous animal sculptures that were beloved for their simplicity and charm.
