" Anthropomorphic Sculpture By Michel Anasse, France Circa 1965 "
This unique sculpture by Michel Anasse embodies the artist's free and expressive universe with poetry and humor. The figure, with its ovoid body and outstretched arms, presents a face crowned with spikes evoking a solar mane. The raw treatment of the material, characteristic of Anasse's work, gives the whole an organic, almost primitive vitality. The character's attitude, half mischievous, half questioning, reveals the artist's interest in the human figure, interpreted with great freedom. Made of hammered and welded iron, the piece shows slight traces of rust. The piece is unsigned.
