I've just returned from a multi-state buying trip and one of
my favorite finds is a torso sculpture. Elegantly carved and
beautifully shaped, the form is strong yet simple. It got me thinking about the history of the torso and I was intrigued to see that Vincent Van Gogh
produced an image “Plaster Statuette of Female Torso" in 1886. As well,
there is the Auguste Rodin, Paris. It brings to light that great design
lives forever.
I've included several photographs for you to admire and the
design theme traverses contemporary to traditional. The rooms are
inspirational, unique and clever. I am sure that the audacious yet romantic shape of the torso will continue to be one introduced in to projects for a long time to come.
