Manuel Felguerez Piano Sculpture
A Fusion of Music and Sculpture The Manuel Felguerez (1928-2020) Piano Sculpture is an exquisite artistic piece inspired by the harmony and beauty of music. Handcrafted with precision by the well-known Mexican folk arts who was born in Valparaiso, this unique sculpture is a blend of metal, paint, and paper that perfectly encapsulates the elegance and complexity of pianos. While best known for his large sculptures and his friendship with such well known muralists as Orozco, Felguerez also produced small sculptures, often from metal and paper mache. This sculpture, once part of a group of related sculptures, features an intricate design, with delicate curves and contours that accurately depict the structure of a grand piano. Each detail, from the keys and pedals to the lid and bench, has been carefully crafted to create an incredibly lifelike sculpture. The use of contrasting colors and textures adds to its visual appeal, enhancing its overall aesthetic value. Measuring roughly 7 inche
