Executed during a formative moment in Suttman’s career, the work exemplifies his expressive approach to the human figure and his interest in psychological presence over literal portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"1157\"\u003eThe sculpture presents a deeply modeled visage with softened, abstracted features, its surface animated by richly worked textures and nuanced patination ranging from deep brown to warm bronze highlights. The face appears contemplative and inward-looking, evoking themes of identity, concealment, and emotional depth suggested by the title. Subtle asymmetries and the hand-worked surface lend the piece a raw, almost archaeological quality, emphasizing the artist’s tactile engagement with the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003eMounted on a cylindrical white marble base, the contrast between the organic bronze form and the refined stone enhances the sculpture’s visual impact while providing a stable, elegant presentation. The scale and presence make it well suited for display on a pedestal, console, or desk, where it commands attention without overwhelming the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1707\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1516\"\u003eThe Mask\u003c\/em\u003e stands as a compelling example of mid-20th-century American figurative sculpture and reflects the intellectual and aesthetic milieu fostered by the Terry Dintenfass Gallery during the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_9415d43e\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-height\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 15 in (38.1 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-height\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-width\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWidth: 7.5 in (19.05 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-width\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-depth\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDepth: 6 in (15.24 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paul Suttman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42870067527743,"sku":null,"price":5850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0157\/7730\/files\/Photoroom_20260128_200110.jpg?v=1769745407","url":"https:\/\/midcenturymasters.com\/products\/the-mask-bronze-sculpture-mounted-on-marble-by-paul-suttman-1967-mid-century","provider":"MidCentury Masters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
