Jean Lambert-Rucki (1888-1967) Art Deco Bronze Crucifix - Modernist Cubist Christ Sculpture
A
rare and powerful modernist bronze crucifix by the renowned artist Jean
Lambert-Rucki. This piece is a perfect example of his contribution to
the 20th-century sacred art revival, blending Cubist influences with
profound expressive minimalism.
In line with many of his
religious commissions, the Christ figure is unsigned but bears all the
unmistakable stylistic hallmarks of Lambert-Rucki’s hand: the elongated
torso, the geometric anatomical details, and the poignant tilt of the
head.
