Exhibition of sculptures by Alfeo Faggi / [an approach by Richard Offner]
This 1921 exhibition catalogue from New York's Bourgeois Galleries presents sculptures by Alfeo Faggi, with an introductory essay by Richard Offner, prepared for a gallery audience of art collectors and critics. The photographs show plaster or stone figures in plain grey studio light, a clear record of Faggi's simplified, mass-driven modelling. A designer might take from them the quiet monumentality of smoothed forms, where broad planes and elongated proportions carry the figure without ornament.
