Brutalist Iron Horse Sculpture

Brutalist Iron Horse Sculpture
Mid-20th Century | Hand-Forged Metal | Primitive Modernist Style

This striking brutalist metal horse sculpture embodies the raw elegance and expressive form characteristic of mid-century modern ironwork. Crafted entirely by hand, its angular limbs, etched details, and elongated proportions capture both strength and simplicity — a beautiful study in minimalism and texture.

Made from forged and welded iron, the surface bears a naturally aged patina that enhances its sculptural quality. The naive, almost tribal styling evokes influences of 1950s–60s modernist European and African-inspired art, making it a standout piece for collectors of brutalist or primitive modern sculpture.
