Art Deco
Artist: Lucien Gerfaux
Art Deco-era sculpture (circa 1930) signed by the artist L. GERFAUX (clearly legible engraved signature on the hull)
This work depicts a stylized traditional Asian dugout canoe braving the waves, with its paddler straining at the oars. Imbued with exoticism and Orientalism, it perfectly captures the 1930s fascination with the colonies and Asian arts. It was originally intended to serve as a large bookend for a library or as a centerpiece for a table.
