Pion 1 1923 - 1925

"Pion 1," a bronze sculpture by Dutch artist Saar de Swart, depicts a standing figure with arms crossed and a cloak, created sometime between 1923 and 1925. The figure's posture and the simplified form of the drapery evoke a sense of stillness and contemplation, characteristic of de Swart's artistic style. The work exemplifies the artist's exploration of the human form, with a focus on capturing the essence of the individual within the context of a broader narrative. The bronze casting, with its patina, contributes to the sculpture's timeless quality, inviting viewers to reflect on the enduring nature of human experience.
