About the Artwork

Contemporary Historic Beaurty statue,Modernist Abstract Standing Woman sculpture, by Gregory Macmillan who expands further….

“Luisa Casati as she contemplates past lives and considers future opportunities.”

Artist Comment

Another homage to an extraordinary person. Luisa Casati, La Marchesa Casati, was a famous beauty in the early 20th century. Though not at all in the conventional sense. Something a bit alien about her, a little beyond extreme, beyond decadent. A most fascinating women, someone who, yes, made her life into art. Heiress to a vast fortune, married to an impeccable title (a pleasant, handsome nonentity, whose purpose in life was riding to hounds), she forged herself into a being of spectacle. Yet, for all her Fortuny gowns, exotic, liveried servants, and pet cheetahs, she was a gentle soul. Her avocation as muse; or rather the focus of a singular universe of being: her self. Famously painted by Boldini; Augustus John (hot: they were lovers), unforgettably sculpted by Jacob Eptein. Tortuously the lover of that monster of sensuality and self-creation, Gabriele D`Annunzio. Beyond decadence, beyond extreme.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
