ABOUT PRODUCTID 44583
This large decorative sculpture from the 1960s, produced in gypsum after a design by Lhota for Jihokera, exemplifies the spirit of Central European modernism in applied art. Its high-gloss, ivory-white surface gives a porcelain-like effect, while the dynamic composition depicts a stag rearing on its hind legs, beset by two leaping hunting dogs. The animal forms are boldly modelled, with expressive antlers, legs, and bodies intertwining to create a sense of tension and movement. Elongated proportions and fluid lines are characteristic of 1960s modernist aesthetics. The irregular, organic base retains the original Jihokera label. Condition: very good, with visible signs of age and prior restoration—specifically, the stag’s antlers were previously reattached, and this intervention remains apparent on close inspection.The hunting scene, frozen in radiant white, tells a story of the dynamic 1960s, when modernism sought to synthesize movement and expression in everyday art. The sculpture gives voice to its era: elongated forms and dramatic gestures evoke a period of searching for tension between naturalism and stylization. Its smooth, lustrous surface captures the light, accentuating every sculpted detail and lending the gypsum composition a monumental presence.Such a sculpture would serve as a striking accent in a living room, especially when paired with vintage furniture or contemporary minimalist arrangements, where its strong silhouette can be fully appreciated. It is well suited to interiors with a neutral palette and organic textures—such as matte veneer, stone, or understated textiles. It can also be displayed as a stand-alone object on a console, sideboard, or low shelf, allowing its decorative energy and dynamic form to take center stage.
