{"product_id":"abstract-marble-sculpture-mother-child-form-mid-century-modern-stone-art","title":"Abstract Marble Sculpture | Mother \u0026 Child Form | Mid-Century Modern Stone Art","description":"🗿 Abstract Marble Sculpture - Mother \u0026amp; Child Form, Mid-Century Modern c. 1950s-1970s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis substantial hand-carved marble sculpture appears to depict two abstracted human faces emerging from a single continuous stone form, oriented inward toward one another. The larger upper curve reads as a protective adult profile, while the smaller lower curve suggests a child or dependent figure, creating a quiet, intimate composition rooted in scale, proximity, and negative space rather than literal detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis restrained approach is characteristic of mid-century modern stone sculpture, where artists explored themes of motherhood, care, and human connection through simplified organic forms. The shared mass of the marble reinforces a sense of unity - two figures shaped from one block, inseparable yet distinct. Natural veining, subtle tool marks, and softened edges confirm this piece was hand-carved, not factory produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeavy, grounded, and contemplative, this sculpture was designed to anchor a space. It is not decorative filler, but a serious sculptural object intended for sustained viewing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem Identification\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem Type: Abstract Stone Sculpture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubject\/Form: Mother \u0026amp; Child (abstracted human profiles)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEra: Mid-20th Century (c. 1950s-1970s)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Solid marble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Mid-Century Modern \/ Organic Modernism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Unknown (studio-carved)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: approx. 16 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: approx. 9 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepth: approx. 4-5 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: approx. 30 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition Statement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery good vintage condition.
