The Flute Player Cycladic Figurine

Description

A beautiful Cycladic idol of timeless beauty and form showing a flute player. Cycladic figurines, in their present form, with their simple shape and clean outline, became popular through their association with abstract art by 20th-century artists like Modigliani, Brancusi, Matisse, and Picasso. Viewed primarily as works of art, they were often presented in a strictly typological manner, without reference to their creators’ cultural sphere. The sculpture is made from limestone.
