Lot 473 | Franz Barwig
(1868 Schönhof/Mähren - 1931 Wien) Reiher Bronze, dunklelbraun patiniert, 1911. Sign.; Der Reiher entstand für die Frühjahrsausstellung 1911 des Wiener Hagenbundes. In den darauffolgenden Jahren wurden seine Skulpturen und Bronzen auf zahlreichen Ausstellungen gezeigt - im Winter 1911/12 im Österreichischen Museum für Kunst und Industrie in Wien, 1912 auf der Großen Kunstausstellung in Dresden, 1913 auf der Ausstellung im Münchner Glaspalast. Barwig gehört zu den bedeutendsten österreichischen Bildhauern der Wiener Moderne. Mit Vorliebe widmete er sich - vergleichbar mit August Gaul - stilisierten, formal auf das Wesentliche reduzierten Tierfiguren (in Holz und Bronze), für die er Studien im Tiergarten in Schönbrunn betrieb. 1909-1921 wirkte Barwig als Professor für Bildhauerei an der renommierten Wiener Kunstgewerbeschule, an der auch die Hauptmeister der Wiener Werkstätte Josef Hoffmann und Koloman Moser lehrten. Ab 1906 war er Mitglied des Hagenbundes, 1925 der Wiener Secession, die ihn 1931 in einer Gedächtnisausstellung ehrte. H. 33 cm. Lit.: "Kunst und Kunsthandwerk", XV, 1912, S. 350; Max Eisler: "Österreichische Werkkultur", Hrsg. vom Österreichischen Werkbund, Wien 1916, Abb. S. 140; Ausstellungs-Kat. "Franz Barwig 1868 - 1931", Österreichische Galerie im Oberen Belvedere, Wien 1969, S. 32. Dark brown patinated bronze, 1911. Signed.
