Description from the seller
Archimede Seguso – Solid Glass Sculpture in Murano Glass, Submerged and Bullicante Technique – “Woman with Bowed Head” – Italy, 1950s
Splendid Murano glass sculpture depicting a seated woman with bowed head resting on crossed arms. The subject is of great executive complexity: from certain angles the facial features (eyes, nose, and mouth) are clearly distinguishable.
The work was handcrafted entirely freehand using the hot-modeling technique on solid glass. The body is made of colorless crystal with a dark olive-green submerged core, enriched by sequences of controlled bubbles (bullicante technique) arranged in a regular and symmetrical way. This combination of submerged and bullicante is typical of the finest Archimede Seguso productions from the mid-20th century and gives the sculpture depth, luminosity, and a strong plastic character.
Archimede Seguso (Murano, 1909-1999) is one of the most important glass masters of the 20th century, famous for his solid sculptures and for mastering the classic Murano techniques applied to figurative subjects.
