Severo Pozzati (sepo) ( 1895 – 1983) Female Face, 1925, Bronze

Created in 1925 and cast during the artist’s stay in Paris, this intense bronze sculpture exemplifies Severo Pozzati’s (Sepo) most mature and evocative stylistic style. The artist employs a concise and sculptural modeling style influenced by Sironi and the Parisian avant-garde, in which the volumetric masses envelop the face in an atmosphere of intimate, dramatic suspense.

The bronze surface, characterized by a deep burnished patina, creates a continuous interplay of light and shadow that enhances the expressiveness of the volumes and the fluidity of the forms. Coming directly from the artist’s studio and featured in the definitive catalog of his sculptural work, this sculpture represents a piece of exceptional historical and critical significance for collectors of 20th-century Italian and European art.
Height approximately 18 cm, including the base. Directly from the artist’s studio. Published in *Sculture di Sepo*, edited by Claudio Spadoni and Vania Strukelj (original work cast in Paris in 1925, corresponding to the example reproduced in the catalog). No. 23/50
