The essence of Leo Amino’s sculptures is simplicity - simplicity of line and curvilinear form, the simplicity of perceived fluid motion. The direct carving in wood emphasizes the properties of this material. The unique and distinctive patterns of veining, grain and color result in a simplified sculptural form and smooth geometrical outlines which harmonize with Leo Amino's native sensibilities.

Created in 1939 of carved white Mahogany
