Honorio Garcia Condoy (b. Honorio Garcia, 1900, Zaragoza, d. 1953 Madrid) figurative sculpture in carved stone depicting a faceless virgin (ca. 1930s).
A contemporary and close friend of Picasso, Condoy drew a lot of inspiration from the shapes and composition of Cubism. Though this particular sculpture is from a body of work heavily influenced by Roman churches and symbolism. The half-standing, half-sitting Virgin, the flat heads, the erased faces - these attributes of Roman art are all present in this piece. The featureless, flat-skulled virgin figure enveloped in a self-embrace is perched in a half-sitting/half-kneeling pose.
This piece is from a well-documented series (near identical example is seen on page 91 of Raymond Creuze's "Honorio Condoy").
Unsigned. Excellent, vintage condition with light patina/scattered light scratches, but no damage/losses. H: 37.5" x L: 12 x D: 14"
Reference: Raymond Creuze "Honorio Condoy" (French, 1973). Reference book is included with the sculpture.
From the collection of a prominent French collector whose London flat was extensively photographed for publications, including House and Garden UK from which the last photograph in the listing was taken. less
