"Michel Zadounaisky Sculpture Signed Hammered, Riveted Circa 1940"
Metal sculpture depicting two birds perched on a stylized branch, topped with a circular shape evoking a moon or an abstract fruit. The whole presents a construction of volumes and taut lines, worked by hammering and assembled by riveting. The metal, punctuated with textures and dark shades, captures the light in a subtle way, accentuating the contrasts. Michel Zadounaisky, an artistic ironworker active in the 20th century, distinguished himself with a production combining rigorous drawing and a poetic sense of form, in an approach close to modernist decorative arts.
