In the MANNER of ROGER CAPRON (FRANCE, 1922-2006) MID-20TH CENTURY, POST-WWII, VINTAGE FRENCH MODERNIST HAND PAINTED, HEAVY PLASTER ABSTRACT FIGURATIVE SCULPTURAL BUST of ROMAN MYTHOLOGICAL FAUN on SLAB BASE, with CUBIST UNDERTONES, featuring SEMI-TRANSPARENT COLOR GLAZE in SMOOTH, SATIN 

FINISH, with A FEW INSTANCES of PAINT LOSS, SIMILAR to ROGER CAPRON'S 'FAUNE JOUFFLOU' PAINTED RAKU CERAMIC SCULPTURE of HORNED FAUN (PART HUMAN & PART GOAT from ROMAN MYTHOLOGY, AKIN to a MYTHOLOGICAL GREEK SATYR) UNSIGNED & with NOW MISSING AFFIXED LABEL on BASEPLATE

[100% untouched. Estate fresh & absolutely new to the marketplace. No touch-ups or mitigation of the painted areas, where there are some small, barely visible scuffs &/or shallow abrasions, has been performed. The painted plaster sculpture remains exactly how it was found when it was removed from the home it was discovered in. Absolutely fantastic. Recently discovered in south-central New Hampshire 

in a well-appointed estate in the Peterborough, NH area, this simply incredible, massive & deceivingly heavy, semi-transparent glazed, plaster abstract figurative bust of a Roman mythological horned faun or Greek mythological satyr, stands on a slab constructed base some 14" in height & spans across 8 1/2" in width. The figure, half-human & half goat, has a rack of golden horns atop its head. Cubist abstract influences are present in how the face is cut up & divided. This work is in the manner of the legendary French Modernist ceramic artist Roger Capron (1922-2006.) This piece is unsigned & a once affixed label on the bottom of the sculpture's baseplate, has since fallen off. There's no inscription or artist's signature appearing elsewhere on the piece. An absolutely mesmerizing, enigmatic, transfixing work. Killer.]
