Samuel Cashwan Modernist Figural Sculpture in Terrazzo and Mosaic Glass c.1940

$15,000.00

Samuel Adolph Cashwan (1900–1988)
American, circa 1940

A rare and monumental composition depicting stylized joined figures reduced to bold architectural planes, sweeping carved voids, and negative space
Executed in pale green terrazzo with exposed aggregate, and enriched by inset mosaic tesserae and a vibrant inset blue glass "window"

From the estate of Dr. Marvin Tomber and Ilene "Beany" Tomber. A private commission

The final image shows the sculpture in its original setting at the Tomber residence

33 inch overall height with base
27 inch sculpture height
11 inch sculpture depth
22.5 inch sculpture width

Approx. 200 lbs

Base measures 24.125 x 14.125 x 10 inches

Samuel Cashwan (1900–1988) was an American modernist sculptor whose work evolved from stylized figuration to increasingly abstract forms. After studying under Antoine Bourdelle at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he returned to Michigan, where he directed the WPA sculpture program from 1936 to 1942. Cashwan's work was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1933–34, 1936, 1942, and 1944, and he participated in the Whitney Museum of American Art's 1950 Annual Exhibition of Contemporary American Sculpture. Today, his work is represented in numerous public and museum collections throughout the United States.
