This large, free-standing paper mâché penguin sculpture from the 1970s exemplifies modernist design with its simplified, almost graphic form and refined color composition. The piece features a compact, rounded silhouette, with proportionally exaggerated details such as a robust beak and widely set legs. The color palette is dominated by deep, satin black, matte white, and vivid, illuminated yellow—distributed around the head, neck, and wings. The hand-crafted nature of the object is apparent in the textured paper layers, minor asymmetries, and visible fingerprint impressions, which enhance the uniqueness of the piece. Construction seams and visible brushstrokes further emphasize its artisanal quality, recalling the craft-focused ethos of the late 1960s and 1970s. The sculpture is stable and does not require any additional supports, making it suitable for free-standing display. In very good condition, it shows only slight traces of age and use, with no damages or repairs, which confirms its originality and authenticity as a vintage object.
In this modernist interpretation from the 1970s, the penguin conveys a sense of playful fascination through its softened form and exaggerated proportions. Its surface, where black fades gently into white and yellow highlights the contours of the head, involves an optimistic spirit characteristic of an era redis
