Head 1939

"Head," created in 1939 by Giacomo Manzù, is a striking example of the Italian artist's exploration of human form and expression. The sculpture, crafted from wax, captures a single, contemplative face, its features rendered with both sensitivity and directness. The wax's smooth surface and muted color palette enhance the work's sense of quiet introspection, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of human emotion. Manzù's work often explored themes of spirituality and humanity, and "Head" exemplifies this focus, showcasing the artist's ability to evoke profound emotion through minimalist form.
