Cross - Bronze, Brass - 1960-1970 - Inspired by Salvador Dalí - 60 cm

Impressive and spectacular solid bronze mural crucifix, representative of the Brutalist / Modernist current of the 1960s–1970s. Original Technique and Finish: This sculpture stands out for its original polychrome patina, created in the workshop to conjure a striking play of contrasts and textures: - Solid bronze structure with clean, geometric shapes cut out. - Original verdigris and brown/black finish reworked in the recesses to enhance relief, depth, and to simulate noble oxidation of ancient bronze. - Gold highlights and polished edges on the protruding ridges as well as on the figure of Christ, beautifully catching the light. Artistic Analysis: Inspired by post-war sacred art and mystical Surrealism (evoking the world of Salvador Dalí and his famous Christ of Saint John of the Cross), the piece combines a flamboyant structure with stylized sacred rays and a golden, slender, expressive Christ. On the back, the assembly of Christ and rays is original and secured robustly by bronze screws. A theatrical piece, original and of high-quality casting, ideal for a modern interior, a collection of sacred art, or Brutalist Mid-Century objects.
