| Description |
The intense power and spirit of this gilt bronze
pectoral gives us pause as we begin to realize
that its magnetism is the direct result of the
artist's adept placement of only a few lines and
curves. Concentrating on the basic qualities of
the human face, the Ecuadorian artist has
reduced that image to its very essence, resulting
in a portrayal stripped of all but its most basic
and primeval elements. Clearly, this is a timeless
and Universal work of art, one that touches the
fundamental core of all who experience its
compelling visage.
