Head of a Man, c. 1953/1954
Tête d'homme
The head — perhaps a fragment of a figure — is modelled directly in plaster on an iron armature. Subsequently, it was painted red and black with numerous brushstrokes.
No subsequent moulds were made from this plaster, meaning that it did not serve as a template for a bronze cast.
