[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 329059, member: 1331"]Bought these two artsyfartsy wall art things this morning that were listed as “Two Mid Century, Abstract Copper & Brass Wall Panels” and after a little searching discovered they were known as “Brutalist” art. Unfortunately they are unsigned so had to dig deeper. The unsigned bit worries me a bit but there is quite a significant amount of work involved in their construction. They are both basically embossed/shaped/textured/coloured copper and brass sheets on top of wood formers with staples holding them together which makes me think they are C.Jere manufactured. An interesting article on them can be found here [URL]http://www.artisanhouse.com/media/newsletter/ElleDecorArticlewithBanner-smallfilesize.pdf[/URL] Did some image searches and found the top pattern but not the bottom one. They seem to be fairly rare image wise on the net and I can't help thinking the large one is Pacman and his girlfriend doing the naughty! If anyone has any better ideas of originator or dates please let me know. Sizes top 50cm x 50cm bottom 50cm x 90cm approx Cheers Stephen (Auction photo) [ATTACH=full]109988[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
