Flight of Night 1918

"Flight of Night" is a bronze sculpture by Paul Manship, a renowned American sculptor known for his Art Deco style. Created in 1918, the sculpture depicts a female figure in a dynamic pose, seemingly in flight, as she balances atop a sphere. The figure's flowing drapery and outstretched limbs create a sense of motion and ethereal beauty, characteristic of Manship's work. The use of smooth, polished bronze further enhances the sensuality of the sculpture, highlighting its delicate contours. This piece is a testament to Manship's mastery of form and his exploration of the human figure in an elegant and stylized manner.
