Nakomis Statue by Frank Lloyd Wright Sculpture
Details
The Nakomis Sculpture is a reproduction of one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most celebrated designs, originally created as part of a pair of sculptures for the Nakoma and Nakomis figures, inspired by Native American themes. The Nakoma and Nakomis sculptures were designed for the Nakoma Country Club in Madison, Wisconsin, which Wright planned in the 1920s but was never fully realized. These sculptures reflect Wright’s deep admiration for indigenous American cultures and his ongoing effort to incorporate cultural symbolism and organic forms into his work. The Nakomis Sculpture represents a stylized, powerful figure of a Native American male in a pose that reflects strength, wisdom, and reverence. Nakomis, often interpreted as the father figure or wise elder, is depicted with a noble stance, symbolizing leadership and protection. The geometric lines and abstracted form of the figure showcase Wright’s signature style of fusing traditional imagery with modernist design principles. The figure is minimalist yet profound, reflecting Wright’s vision of harmony between culture, art, and nature. Standing at 17.75 inches high and finished in a rich gold tone, this reproduction is made of durable design resin, capturing the elegance and symbolism of the original statue. The gold finish adds a touch of regality, emphasizing the timeless significance of the figure. This piece not only serves as an artful tribute to indigenous American cultures but also highlights Wright’s commitment to creating designs that honor history while pushing the boundaries of modern art. The Nakomis Sculpture is perfect for collectors of Wright’s work or those who appreciate cultural artistry. Whether displayed on a shelf, desk, or as part of a broader collection, this statue encapsulates the historical and artistic significance of Wright’s designs, bringing a piece of architectural and cultural history into any space.
