Spirit of the Wind (Zephyr) - 1936
$4,000.00Price
This is a graceful figure study of the Art Deco using the human female figure to display a natural phenomenon. It was created in 1936 during a period of time when the sculptor was creating automobile radiator ornaments for a variety of different cars. It was never enlarged to life-size.
The body purposefully demonstrates some disproportion with a twisting torsion for the visual effect. The statue certainly depicts swift motion of wind.
A small bronze casting of Zephyr can be made available for purchase.
