Statue, Grand masque murale féminin art déco - vers 1950...

Large Art Deco terracotta wall mask from around 1950 – Stylized face with slit eyes, 33 cm Beautiful hand-modeled terracotta wall sculpture, in the pure Art Deco style of the 1950s This mask stands out for its theatrical and graphic character: a highly stylized face with slit eyes, clean lines and an enigmatic expression. The hair, particularly worked, forms an abundant volume of elaborated curls enhanced by circular motifs that create a decorative play of relief and shadow. Piece hollow, designed to be mounted on the wall thanks to a practical notch at the back. Characteristics : • Era: around 1950 • Style: stylized/theatrical Art Deco • Probable origin: Italy (Tuscany) or France • Material: Unglazed terracotta, matte finish • Dimensions: Height 33 cm × Width 19 cm • Mounting: Wall notch at the back • Signature: No visible signature This type of mask fits within the tradition of decorative and theatrical pieces produced in the 1950s, in the lineage of Goldscheider masks and Tuscan or French ceramic workshops. The treatment of the slit eyes gives it a mysterious and scenographic character quite rare among wall masks from that period. Provenance: From the attic of a decoration shop in Belgium, where it had been stored since the 1950s. Condition: Generally good for its age. Light signs of storage and normal use.
