Description

Interesting modern art sculpture in white patinated plaster, created in the 1940s. This bust of a young boy captures the tragic essence of Ida Fuá’s art: an elegant profile with a sinuous and elongated neck, inspired by the fluid lines of Amedeo Modigliani. The face, rendered with expressionist touches, conveys a profound melancholy—half-closed eyes and a gaze turned elsewhere, as if in an interrupted dream.

The contrast between the candid glow of the plaster and the dark wooden base accentuates the emotional intimacy of the work, an aesthetic refuge from historical chaos. Perfect for collectors of 20th-century female art or minimalist furnishings with vintage touches.

Curiosity about the work

In Ida Fuá’s works, the tilted head symbolizes a “missed gaze” toward the future, an echo of her creative exile. It was modeled in her Torno studio, inspired by the lake landscapes that filter into the fluid details of the neck and hair.
