Mangoni Despo

Mangoni Despo shaped raw metal into figures and faces in the 1960s. Three surviving pieces show their hand: the 1966 sheet-metal *nude*, the 1965 metal portrait *Daughter’s head*, and the 1967 pencil *Outdoor study*. Little more is recorded, but these works sit squarely in mid-century studio practice, where metal became a skin for form. Tap the *Daughter’s head* to see how a single sheet can become both face and feeling.
