An elegant modernist sculpture in polished brass, conceived as a dynamic arrangement of elongated, interlocking organic forms. The composition evokes the movement of a bird in flight, with sweeping upward curves, sharply tapering extremities and a central configuration of fluid, sculptural volumes. Its carefully balanced silhouette creates a striking impression of movement and weightlessness. The highly polished brass surface accentuates the interplay of light and shadow, while the restrained rectangular wooden base visually counterbalances the expressive vertical composition. The sculpture reflects mid-20th-century organic abstraction. It has been tentatively attributed to Heinz Warneke (1895–1983), the German-born American sculptor celebrated for his animal subjects and accomplished treatment of sculptural materials. A distinctive decorative and sculptural work, suitable for a collection of modernist art or twentieth-century design.
