L A R G E S C U L P T U R E ! 2 4 " x 1 7 " Brutalism emerged in Europe as an architectural style in the late forties. The movement varied and the term was adopted by architects and artists over the next several decades. Brutalism embodied several key elements. A sense of rawness. Exposed or unfinished materials and visual weight and presence. In general, brutalist art often reveals its structure as the surface of its form. Here, a hand-formed, whimsical brutalist cat sculpture is designed to be used as a planter, either indoors or outside. The charm of this cat is undeniable from its jaunty whiskers to its curving tail, this sculpture is the cat's meow! This cat was designed to be used as a bullet planter to give this cat a large fiberglass belly! The raw metal elements here are sculpted and exposed and the visual textural appeal of this piece is sensational! The wrought iron has a consistent tarnish throughout! Like all unique metal pieces of this nature, this one has a character all its own and the mid century touches are evident. The cloth style collar is itself an element unique to the early twentieth century but gives this cat a dapper, dignified appearance! With one glance, the mid century period comes to life in a great decoration element! This piece is in excellent vintage condition. Time has given this work an incredible consistent patina to the welded and worked elements! This would make a wonderful addition to your NY penthouse, Palm Springs atomic ranch or UK summer home!
