Abstract carved limestone sculpture of a man's head, attributed to Jack Kershaw (Tennessee, 1913-2010) 15"H. This piece, found in the home of artist/attorney Jack Kershaw after his death, shows some similarities to works by fellow Nashville sculptor William Edmondson (1874-1951). Kershaw was Edmondson's WPA supervisor in Nashville, introduced Edmondson to Myron King of Lyzon Gallery in Nashville, and is known to have owned several of Edmondson's works (all of which are believed to have been given away prior to Kershaw's death). This piece may have been Kershaw's attempt to study or pay tribute to Edmondson's distinctive sculptural style. Provenance: Estate of Jack Kershaw, Nashville, Tenn. CONDITION: Signs of wear and exposure to elements.
