Vintage M. Hinz Signed Brass & Driftwood Marine Fish Sculpture (1987) – 12" x 8"

Capture the striking beauty of mid-century coastal art with this authentic vintage 1987 tabletop sculpture by artist M. Hinz. This exceptional mixed-media piece blends the warm luster of hand-worked metal with the raw, rustic texture of a natural wood root base.

The sculpture features detailed, abstractly stylized brass fish swimming vertically among long, torch-cut brass seaweed fronds. The delicate metal structures are securely anchored to a dense, beautifully gnarled piece of natural driftwood root. Every angle offers a dynamic perspective of underwater motion, highlighted by torch-applied heat patinas on the edges of the brass.

The artist's hand-painted signature "M. Hinz '87" is clearly visible on the reverse side of the main fish body, guaranteeing its authenticity as a true collectible piece of late-20th-century artisan metalwork. It is the perfect size for a coastal living room mantle, a mid-century modern shelf display, or an executive desk accent.
