ABOUT PRODUCTID 20084
The sculpture 'Shy Girl', crafted in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, exemplifies Central European modernism in its minimalist form. Made of plaster and finished in a uniform, cool white glaze with a high-gloss surface, the sculpture stands out for its clear, naturalistic silhouette and gentle, rounded curves. The kneeling figure, with her right hand delicately covering her mouth, is mounted on an integral, rectangular plinth. Proportions are naturalistic yet subtly idealized; details of the face, hands, and feet are rendered with precision, while the hair is stylized in a smooth, cap-like shape. The surface is glossy, with no matte areas, chips, or cracks. The condition is excellent—no signs of wear, damage, or restoration are present, and the glaze remains intact.Within this sculpture lies a quiet narrative of the 1960s, a period when Central European modernist art focused on honest expression and simplicity of form. The kneeling pose suggests shyness and introspection, as if the white plaster figure continues to echo the decade's search for sincerity and gentleness. The nearly mirror-like surface softly reflects light, inviting moments of contemplation and pause, while the girl's minimalist gesture offers a subtle invitation to step away from daily distractions.This piece would suit interiors that value restraint and refined detail—it can be placed on a console in the living room, or on a shelf alongside modernist graphics or ceramics. When paired with light marble, raw concrete, or wood, its minimalist character is further emphasized. In vintage collector's spaces, it may be combined with other 1960s objects, while in contemporary settings, it will serve as a distinctive yet understated accent, harmonizing with neutral palettes and clean-lined furnishings.
