Unique piece created by the Belgian sculptor Jules DeWaele, known under the pseudonym PIA MANU.
A great collector of fossils and trilobites, Pia Manu takes up this sculpture with raw and primitive sculptural forms, primitive forms created by the force of nature. In concrete, iron, pyrite and glass.
Signed Pia Manu on the reverse.
Around 1960.
Special order for an owner in Flanders (Belgium). Several important pieces by Pia Manu from this same provenance are presented today by @igmarstuer and @pschantiques. Representative of the Flemish Brutalists Pia Manu models or sculpts primitive forms with powerfully textured or anti-poetic materials (as he himself calls them) using concrete, earth and slate.
