Oil on cardboard – stylized Art Deco study after the Adam of the Sistine Chapel – 60 x 80 cm

A modernist reinterpretation of Michelangelo's masterpiece. Superb oil on cardboard depicting a stylized male head after the Adam of the Sistine Chapel, rendered in an Art Deco style. The artist offers a refined and monumental vision of the face, playing on the geometry of forms, smooth volumes, and metallic reflections typical of the period. 🖌️ Description: Oil on cardboard – 60 X 80 cm – black wood frame. A vibrant palette of greens, blues, ambers, and ochres, modulated by soft transitions that lend the subject a sculptural intensity. The stylized volumes and directed light reflect a work inspired by Art Deco statuary and Symbolist painting. On the reverse, a studio annotation: “Male Head Study”. ✨ Condition: Good overall condition, stable surface, and fresh colors. Sound cardboard, frame in good condition with minor signs of wear. 🧠 Artistic Analysis This study falls within the modernist neo-classicism movement characteristic of the 1930s-1950s: monumental figures, simplified forms, and an emphasis on inner power. The treatment of Adam's profile, revisited in a cool, golden light, evokes the aesthetic of artists such as Jean Dunand, Tamara de Lempicka, and Bourdelle in their search for a balance between spirituality and stylization. 🖼️ Presentation A decorative and collectible piece, ideal for a contemporary setting, gallery, or office. Its sculptural presence and vibrant modeling make it a distinctive piece, somewhere between an academic study and decorative art. 📦 Packaging & Delivery Professionally packaged with double protection: cardboard and bubble wrap.
