Abstract Female Figurative Sculpture: Thomas McClure (American, 1920-2009) Signed

A figure comes through the bronze like someone stepping out of a wall.

This abstract female figurative sculpture is by Thomas McClure (American, 1920-2009), from the United States, signed, in bronze. The golden body strides upward on one leg, its rear foot lifted clear. Smooth, burnished planes break open along rough, dark seams at the waist, thigh and knee, as if the casting were still deciding where to stop. The head and raised arm merge into a cut cylinder above. A second cylinder, torn along its top edge, anchors the foot below. Thirty-three inches high.

One foot barely touches down. The other has already left.
