A Support Turned Into a Dance

A caryatid is a female figure that serves as a column. Greek temples used them to hold up roofs.

Modigliani gave the idea a modern face. This caryatid arms raised figurine bends like a column made of flesh.

Lessons from African and Oceanic Art

Modigliani's sketches were heavily inspired by traditional African and Oceanic sculpture. The Modigliani Caryatid statue shows the same sculptural characteristics.

The female fleshiness is interpreted with the perfection of a protractor. That makes this Modigliani nude sculpture precise yet warm.

The African inspired white statue sits well among our Parastone Museum Replicas and Museum Statues Collection.

Display and Care

At 3.3 lbs, the Modigliani Caryatid statue needs a firm shelf or table. Dust the white resin with a soft dry cloth. Keep it away from strong sun.
