Fritz Klimsch (1870 Frankfurt a. M. - 1960 Freiburg im Breisgau)
"Räkelndes Mädchen" (auch betitelt "stehende weibliche Figur", "Mädchenakt" und "Mädchen mit Lockenkopf"). Originaltitel Bronze oder Metallguss(?), 1911, neu weiß gefasst, mit Gips gefüllt. Wvz. Braun 67. Auf einer querovalen Plinthe im starken Kontrapost stehendes Mädchen, die linke Hand in die Hüfte stützend, die rechte Hand hinter den Kopf haltend. Klimsch hat das "Räkelnde Mädchen" zuerst 1911 in XXIII. Ausstellung der Berliner Secession ausgestellt. Hermann Braun schreibt hierzu: "Jedenfalls ist diese bekannte Jugendstilplastik ganz durch ein lineares Element bestimmt, das förmlich dazu auffordert, die Figuration in ihrer ganzen Lebendigkeit abzulesen (...) Die ganze Haltung wirkt durch ihre Feinnervigkeit und Schlaksigkeit ebenso jungmädchenhaft wie frivol. Das an den Arm geschmiegte, von feinen Löckchen umrahmte Anlitz lächelt ein wenig unsicher, während die lässige Armbewegung mit der auf die Hüfte gesetzten Linken bereits angeborene weibliche Sicherheit verrät". H. 84,5 cm.
Lit.: Hermann Braun: Fritz Klimsch. Eine Dokumentation", Köln 1991, Wvz-Nr. 67, S. 334-35 (dort eine Höhe von 82 cm für ein Bronze-Expl. angegeben).
Provenienz: Sammlung Dr. Hermann Braun, Hannover.
