Colleen Madamombe Stone Sculpture of Woman with Basket
Est: $1,200 - $1,800
Colleen Madamombe (Zimbabwe, 1964-2009). Woman with Basket. Stone sculpture, n.d. Signed on lower left side of verso. An endearing stone sculpture by celebrated second-generation Shona artist Colleen Madamombe presenting a character common to her work: a round-faced female dressed in a billowing, layered dress while holding a basket. Madamombe's work explores themes of womanhood, girlhood, pregnancy, motherhood, and the authority of the tribal matriarch. Interested in not only the emotional and spiritual side of woman's life but also the basic physical appearance and movement particular to females, Madamombe often depicts women at work, harvesting, carrying water or children, and giving birth. She portrays these aspects of womanhood with poetic clarity, revealing emotions such as pride, authority, energy, endeavor, sadness, tenderness, and humor. As is typical of her work, this sculpture is also a play in surface and texture: her smooth, polished face and hands are juxtaposed with the rough-hewn surfaces of her clothing and hair. Size: 9.5" W x 13" H (24.1 cm x 33 cm) Madamombe's female figures quickly became a symbol of womanhood in Zimbabwe and were adopted by the Zimbabwean International Film Festival as the trophy award for all winning women entrants. She also won the award "Best Female Artist of Zimbabwe" three times. As is evident in her subject matter, Madamombe had strong feelings concerning the changing role of women in Zimbabwean society. Though opportunities for women were and are still developing, she felt they were losing their positions of traditional respect and that it remained difficult for women to pursue a career in the arts, predominantly because of an inherent lack of self-confidence as well as the idea of following one's own ambitions and pursuing a career remains foreign to many Zimbabwean women. Madamombe explained: "A lot of women are artists and just don't realize it - making pots and other things for the home, and not for sale."

COLLEEN MADAMOBE SHONA SCULPTURE
Est: $400 - $600
Shona Serpentine Sculpture, Zimbabwe, Colleen Madamombe (1964-2009). Signed lower back side. Measures 5 1/2"x5"x7 1/2". Weight 8 pds 14 oz. PROVENANCE: A Charleston SC Private Estate. Colleen Madamombe, born in 1964 in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe following independence in 1980) received her secondary education at school in Kutama, between 1979 and 1984. She obtained a Diploma in Fine Arts at the BAT Workshop School of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe from 19851986 and in 1986 she married the Zimbabwean sculptor Fabian Madamombe, with whom she later had seven children. Initially, she specialized in drawing and painting but in 1987 she went to help her husband in his sculpting at Chapungu Sculpture Park[1] where she started stone carving. Colleen became close friends with fellow female sculptor, Agnes Nyanhongo, and rapidly developed her own style of sculpting in the three years she stayed full-time at Chapungu. While some of her early work was inspired by observation of ants, bees, butterflies and caterpillars, Colleen became best known for her depiction of women and their Shona culture. She illustrated many themes of womanhood: women at work, harvesting, carrying water or children and giving birth. Her short, stout female figures quickly became a symbol of womanhood in Zimbabwe and were adopted by the Zimbabwean International Film Festival as the trophy award for all winning women entrants. She won the award Best Female Artist of Zimbabwe three times.
