Schacht van een sokkel van donkergroen marmer 1927

"Schacht van een sokkel van donkergroen marmer," a 1927 sculpture by Dutch artist Maja van Panhuys, is a striking example of modernist sculpture. The piece features a smooth, cylindrical shaft rising from a square base, all crafted from dark green marble. The natural veining of the marble is prominent, adding a subtle texture and depth to the piece. Van Panhuys, known for her explorations of form and materials, created this piece at a time when modernist sculpture was embracing geometric abstraction and the inherent qualities of materials. This piece exemplifies her distinctive style, highlighting the beauty and strength of the stone itself.
