Modernist Brass sculpture of a Woman in the style of Brancusi.

We believe this to be a reproduction in the style of the original Brancusi in the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, circa 1970's.

Mlle Pogany is a portrait of Margit Pogany, a Hungarian artist who sat for Brâncuși several times in 1910 and 1911. Shortly after her return to Hungary, Brâncuși carved a marble Mlle Pogany from memory, then made a plaster mold from which he cast four additional versions, including this bronze. In representing its subject through highly stylized and simplified forms, the work departed significantly from conventional portraiture. Large almond-shaped eyes overwhelm the oval face, and a black patina represents the hair that covers the top of the head and extends over the elaborate chignon at the nape of the neck.
