The item is perfect for collectors and art enthusiasts who appreciate unique, high-quality pieces. I have bought and sold many of Handel's works but never this masterpiece. It may be one of a kind. Wonderful original copper enamel cloisonné artwork of stylized Adonis by mid century modern artist Donald J. Handel (1936-2002). His style is coined “cloisonnesque”. Donald J. Handel, visual artist (1936-2002), was raised in Newark, NJ and graduated from New York's Cooper Union School of Design in the late 1950s. During his early career, he worked for Saul Bass, for whom he developed the Handel Gothic typeface font used by "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and Pixar's "Wall-E" among others. As a young man, he made a home in California, where he established himself as a freelance creative artist in his own new medium, Cloisonesque. He continued to create new pieces in Cloisonesque for remainder of his life. He spent a lot of time in New Jersey and a lot of his art was placed in galleries there. Very good condition, no dings or scratches, no enamel loss I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING THIS ARTIST FOR MANY YEARS AND WILL BE LISTING MORE OF HIS WORKS.
