Description from the seller
Very Rare Pre-War Balinese Art Deco Wood Carving by W.J. Ranckep (Mas, Bali) Dating from the 1940s.
Rangkep operated under the artistic philosophy of the Pita Maha Art Cooperative (founded in 1936 by local royals and Western artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet). This movement encouraged local carvers to develop deeply expressive, highly individualized personal styles rather than repeating uniform, traditional patterns
High-quality craftsmanship with a rare, deeply hand-incised signature on the base, which is highly sought after by collectors compared to later pieces.
Authentic Balinese Art Deco showcasing the distinct influence of the famous Pita Maha cooperative. The sculpture features an introspective, seated figure with beautifully stylized body contours, elongated toes, and elegant clothing folds.Art Deco.
