"African Drummer, " Fabulous Cubist Bronze Sculpture, France, 1920s
About the Item
A brilliant example of early French cubist sculpture, this depiction of an African drummer, her hands beating the two-sided drum and her head looking up as she sings or chants to the music, illustrates the fractured, reinvented reality that Picasso and Braque invented just ten or twenty years before. The abstracted breasts of the figure bring to mind the mature Cubism of Ossip Zadkine, Jean Souverbie, Léopold Survage and the other great sculptors and painters of the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, though this bronze is not signed.
