Jetty Homan (Nl. 1912-1996)

The Dutch artist Jetty Homan established herself in her younger years as a ballet dancer. After 1950 she began a career as a largely self-taught sculptor. At first she began working in ceramics and later she focussed primarily on making abstract bronze sculptures.

These sculptures are typical of her interest in an organic movement articulated in form and material. One is mounted to a granite block base and the other on a teak wood base. (Unsigned as was normal for her work). The sculpture on the left is a maquette for a larger work on public display in the Dutch town of Arnhem.
