Angelo Basso Bronze Figurative Sculpture "Vanity"
About the Item
A stunning bronze figurative sculpture by Italian American artist Angelo Basso.
Angelo Basso was born in 1943 in Rimini, Italy and is an internationally collected artist. Although he is self taught he apprenticed at the prestigious Stella Mari Art School. He met the pope in 1984 and one of his pieces is on permanent exhibition in the Vatican Museum. Featured is "Vanity" depicting a woman that has passed out from herself loving narcissism.
Sculpture measures 18 x 16 inches, approximately 10” deep
Very heavy painted bronze sculpture that must be shipped in a small wooden crate for maximum protection.
Angelo Basso is one of Italy’s most prominent figurative sculptors — an heir to the Baroque tradition of the 1600s.
Basso captures the lush, assertive style of that period in his evocative female figures. His lithe, confident women miraculously glide through sea waves with the rich flowing movement of the Baroque style. Basso’s figures are immortalized in magic moments of life or captured in the delicate grace of a courtly dance.
At the age of 18, Basso enjoyed his first solo show in Italy and, since then, has exhibited internationally in Germany, England, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Switzerland, Japan, Australia and the United States.
The artist has received many accolades, including:
Gondola d’Oro, 1983;
First Prize at the Italy Arte Expo, 1983;
the Premio Giotto Prize, 1984;
the Stella d’Europa, 1984.
Commissions include a sculpture presented to the Vatican’s Contemporary Art Collection, Rome.
