Lot 243 | Georg Kolbe (Waldheim/Sachsen 1877 - Berlin 1947). Standing Female Nude with Crossed Leg.
1942. Zinc, black patinated. H. 73 cm. Ligated monogr. GK on the top of the plinth, foundry mark H. NOACK BERLIN on the reverse. A copy of the standing nude figure was exhibited at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin in 1942. The female nude with her arms folded in front of her body and her legs crossed dates from the artist's last creative period. In contrast to the early sculptures with their expansive, dance-like movements, the rather static figure radiates calm and contemplation, which seems typical of the artist's later concepts - Expertise: Written statement by Dr. Ursel Berger dated 5.9.1988 - Literature: Berger (cat.rais.186) mentions approx. 9 zinc casts. - Provenance: Private collection, Hessen - Georg Kolbe is one of the most important German sculptors of the first half of the 20th century. Initially trained as a painter and draughtsman at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Dresden and the Kunstakademie in Munich, he turned to sculpture around 1900. In 1911/12, his sculpture "Dancer" was the first modern sculpture to be purchased for the collection of the Berlin National Gallery and was regarded as the epitome of modern sculpture with its body-emphasizing formal language, leaving the art of the imperial era behind. Kolbe's repeated collaborations with outstanding architects of the time, such as Mies van der Rohe, show the extent to which he explored the idea of space and proportion in his work. He described his idealized nude sculptures as "expressive sculpture", which testify to his intensive examination of external form and the inner movement of the human being Mus.: Berlin, Georg-Kolbe-Museum Lit.: Berger, Ursel.
