Lot 648 | Edwin Scharff
(1887 Neu-Ulm - 1955 Hamburg) Pandora Bronze, dunkel patiniert. 1952; monogrammiert und datiert auf der Plinthe. Sehr seltener Abguss. Erhobenen Hauptes, mit gestrafftem Oberkörper und hinter dem Rücken verschränkten Armen steht der weibliche Akt im leichten Kontrapost. Die Haare sind mit einer Schleife hinten zusammengebunden. In der mythologischen Erzählung des antiken Dichters Hesiod, erschaffte der Gott der Schmiedekunst Hephaistos Pandora aus Lehm im Auftrag von Zeus. Von Aphrodite wird sie mit holdem Liebreiz beschenkt. Scharff beruft sich in seiner "Pandora" auch noch in der Nachkriegzeit auf die klassisch geprägte Formsprache der 1920er Jahre an. Bereits 1951 schuf Scharff eine überlebensgroße "Pandora" als Vermächtnis für seine Geburtsstadt. Im darauffolgenden Jahr ließ er die verkleinerte Replik des Frauenaktes mit sehr viel sinnlicherem Ausdruck in geringer Auflage abgießen. Ges-H. 69 cm. Literatur Ausstellung Katalog Edwin Scharff, Retrospektive, Neu-Ulm 1987, KatalogNr. 68. Dark patinated bronze. Monogramm and dated.
