Alfred Hrdlicka 1957 Bronze Sculpture "Sappho" Figurative Expressionist Art

Bronze sculpture depicts a seated couple in an intimate, expressive embrace. Created by Alfred Hrdlicka in 1957, this piece showcases a raw, textured aesthetic characteristic of mid-century European modernism. The heavy, tactile surface features a dark patina with subtle green oxidation, emphasizing the organic forms and emotional weight of the subjects. Signed and dated by the artist on the base, it serves as a powerful example of figurative expressionist art.
