Expressive bronze sculpture of a balancing acrobat – numbered copy
This bronze sculpture by Milo (1910–1978) depicts an acrobat in a moment of supreme concentration and physical control. The figure balances on a sphere, its arms spread wide, emphasizing the tension between movement and stillness. The work is a powerful study of balance, strength, and human control.
The composition is characteristic of the Art Deco period, where dynamism, geometry, and stylized forms are central. The body is taut and expressively modeled, with elongated lines that enhance the movement without unnecessary detail. The dark, warm patina accentuates the sculpture's plasticity and gives it a restrained, monumental appearance.
The statue is made of bronze and stands on a black marble base. It bears the stamp "Susse Frères – Paris – Bronze Garanti," indicating a high-quality French bronze casting. This is a numbered piece, underscoring its exclusivity and collector's value.
A sculpture with a distinct sculptural presence, convincing both art-historically and aesthetically, and suitable for placement in a refined private collection or representative space.
