José Zanine CALDAS (1919-2001)

Wall Relief, 1970

Section of eroded tree stump, mounted as a wall relief, evoking the “objets à réaction poétique” as named by Le Corbusier, who enjoyed collecting them in nature.

Beautiful natural patina bearing witness to prolonged exposure to the elements.
Provenance: Maria Haydee’s house in Petropolis, designed and furnished by Caldas.

H. 70 x 65 x 28 cm
