Art Deco "pirogue" Sculpture Signed By L. Gerfaux - Circa 1930
Art Deco-era sculpture (circa 1930) signed by the artist L. GERFAUX (very legible engraved signature on the hull)
This work depicts a stylized traditional Asian canoe braving the waves, with its canoeist on board exerting himself. 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.
