Brutalist bronze sculpture abstract dog head mid century

Striking modern brutalist bronze sculpture of an abstract dog head late mid century to 20th century. This piece features expressive, heavily worked bronze with a rich natural patina, mounted on a solid stone base. The sculptural style is modernist / Brutalist, focusing on form and emotion rather than realism. A strong decorative and collectible art piece. Solid bronze on stone base. Subject: Abstract dog head. Period: c. 1970s–1980s
Style: Modern / Brutalist. Stands 14 inches tall
Good vintage condition overall with no cracks or repairs to the bronze. The stone base shows a few minor corner nicks, consistent with age and use (see photos). The mounting hole in the stone has some wear and would benefit from being drilled slightly deeper to achieve a more secure fit. At present, the sculpture is stable and upright using temporary spacers ( tooth picks), as acquired as found. Perfect for collectors of modern sculpture, animal art, or bronze works.
