JERE TABLE SCULPTURE LILIES & LIGHTNING WOOD! J E R E O R I G I N A L! DIMENSIONS: Approximately 12″ x 11″ 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 and buildings express no effort in trying to look comfortable or delicate. They are defiant and not compliant. Curtis Jere was a major force in mid century metal art and this is one of his scarce table lilies in driftwood sculptures. This one is EXTRA special because the wood used was lightning struck wood – which gives it great visual contrasts and also (some believe) special properties imbued by the lightning struck wood! In lore, lightning wood has transformative properties used in magic and for good fortune! Here, with this brutalist sculpture the raw metal elements are each cut, softened, colored by heat and inserted into the driftwood! A rich harmony of hearth colors! The wood is delectable! This sculpture is i n excellent shape! This spectacular work of art would make a wonderful addition to your NY penthouse, CA atomic ranch or West Palm Beach estate! Rare & Superb C.
