Wall hanging / space divider, assemblage by Anne Klein H. Mujeres Florero /Just a Pretty face is a comment on the bio type of woman who only has to be ‘a pretty face’, a jewel in her home, being elegant and nice. Often she doesn’t need to work for a living, as she has a good husband who works for her and her luxury. In Spanish this type of woman is called Mujer Florero, comparing women with a typical home decoration object: the vase. This image of women is still used in advertisement industry and fills great deal of the amusement press and media. The work consists of a framed glass with wooden vase shapes in a row. The piece is double faced: at one side the vases are covered with mirror glass, cut out of antique mirrors, referring to 'just a pretty face', reflection of ourselves and the importance of appearance. On the other side the vase shapes are covered with colorful ads about clothes, bags, jewelry and beauty products. Because of being double faced this hanging is ideal to be hung to a glass wall or as a space divider, but can also be hung to the wall showing one of both sides. Materials: Wood, glass, antique mirror glass, paper, varnish, wax, metal hardware

Sculptors Cosé Manzano (Spain) and Anne Klein H. (the Netherlands) live and work in the South West of Spain. Both work in metal sculpture and installations. They established the KleinManzano art-collective in 2013 and their works can be found in collections in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the Unites States. Artist's Statements: Cosé Manzano: 'Direct metal sculpting like hammering, cutting and welding is my preferred technique. My raw material is metal bar or metal sheet which I intuitively shape, bend and hammer into figurative sculpture. But I can also be captured by a found object or synthetic material. I find inspiration in animals and the land that surrounds us, and also in architecture and contemporary art. In my current work I focus on skin ‘transported’ to metal, and on metrical shapes I see in nature. Although we don’t literally work together on the same art works, working together as KleinManzano reinforces my direction, inner sense and reference in art.' Anne Klein H.: 'I make sculpture in various techniques: metal sheet and mixed media assemblage, using wood, glass, ceramics, metal and leather, often with found or re-used pieces. My work can have a symbolic or surrealist tendency. I get inspiration from social and personal issues (like women and society, or living in a foreign country), but also materials inspire me, as do nature and architecture. To me KleinManzano is a very motivating way of finding reference and structure, stand together and get deeper into art.'
