A MODERN BUST TITLED 'REVELATION, ANGST'

A MODERN BUST TITLED 'REVELATION, ANGST' modelled as the male head and torso of an emaciated figure with wild eyes caught in extreme angst, made of painted moulded plastic composite with glass eyes, on a wooden stand with brass plaque, 149cm high

This sculpture is a modern interpretation of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt's (German 1736 - 1783) curious 18th-century “Character Heads” bust series (circa 1770–83) which attempted to document all human emotional states in sculpture.
