Terracotta sculpture representing a group of women at work, pushing a wooden cart on rails, evoking the mining world and collective effort.

The artist seems to have interpreted this scene freely; it could be a symbolic vision of work in the mines or a situation linked to a war context.

The female figures are depicted topless, in a powerful style, reminiscent of certain works on paper by Armand Rassenfosse or Pierre Paulus or Constantin Meunier.

Angelo Hecq had planned a limited edition of 24 terracotta copies and 6 bronze copies, the copy presented bears the number 5/24 .

Beautiful red patina.

Symbolist work signed and numbered in the decoration (on the trolley, see photo).

Good original condition, with some firing shrinkage , visible in the photos - a common phenomenon on terracotta pieces of this size.

Angelo Hecq is an architect, sculptor, ceramist, medalist, and professor at the Ecole Saint-Luc in Mons. He signs his works "Angelo," "Hecq," or "Angelo Hecq."

In addition to his own work as a sculptor, he produces stoneware for La Maison Helman in Brussels, ceramics for Boch Frères Keramis in La Louvière, and La Céramique Montoise (formerly Etablissements A. Dubois in Mons), which produces limited editions for Les Editions Nerva in Brussels.

His work is strongly influenced by Symbolism and later by Cubism.

Between 1930 and 1935, Angelo Hecq trained in Roger Guérin's studio in Bouffioulx. He is responsible for this sculpture of a kneeling nude woman in the Cubist style, created in Guérin's studio....
