Modern Art Guitar Red Patina Bronze Sculpture (17 X6 )
To Create Guitar Salvador Dali Made A Radical Leap From The Sculptural Tradition Of Modeling (Carving Or Molding) To A New Technique Of Assemblage. He Created A First Version Of Guitar From Cardboard In 1912, Then Later Remade The Work In Sheet Metal; The Modern Ordinariness Of Both Of These Materials Is Very Different From Traditional Sculptural Materials Such As Bronze, Wood, And Marble. The Planes Of The Sheet–Metal Construction Engage In A Play Of Substance And Void In Which Volume Is Suggested, Not Depicted. In A Dramatic Demonstration Of The Flexible Way Visual Forms Can Be Read In Context, The Guitar'S Sound Hole, Which Normally Recedes From The Instrument'S Smooth Surface. Bronze Dimensions With Marble Base: Height 17 X Width 6 inches. Weight: 8 Lbs.
