Brutal Beauty

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi

An unknown artist created this sculpture in 1966 in the Brutalist manner. There's a beautiful upward fluidity to the form. It can look like flames at one angle and a rock formation at another angle. Very heavy bronze atop a black marble base.
14.5" tall
