William Bowie Brutalist Bronze Sculpture 1960s

Creator: William Bowie
Offered by: Venfield

Description
This abstract sculpture appears to be the figure of a man, but upon closer inspection, the figure gives way to a mass of swirling metal.

William Bowie was a prominent sculptor of the American Mid-Century Modern period. A contemporary of Harry Bertoia, Curtis Jere and Bruce Freidle, Bowie is considered a founding figure of the American metal sculpture genre. His works' exploration of artistic beauty and meaning in industrial materials, closely associates him with the Brutalist movement.
