Lot 575 | Gerhard Marcks
(1889 Berlin - 1981 Burgbrohl/Eifel)
"Sinnende". Originaltitel
Bronze, goldbraun patiniert, 1943. Künstler-Signet ("Phönix"), nummeriert 5/10. Guss nach 1970, Gießerstempel "GUSS BARTH RINTELN". Wvz. Rudloff 429. Auf flacher, fast quadratischer Plinthe stehende junge Frau in langem Kleid, die ihren Kopf sinnierend auf ihre linke Hand stützt. Stil- und motivtypische Arbeit des bedeutenden modernen Bildhauers. Marcks wirkte 1919-1924 als Meister am Bauhaus und 1925-1933 an der Burg Giebichenstein in Halle/Saale, 1933-1945 gehörte er zu den als "entartet" verfemten modernen Künstlern, 1943 wurde sein Berliner Atelierhaus mit einem Großteil seines Oeuvres bei einem Bombenangriff zerstört. Seine auf das Wesentliche des Ausdrucks stilisierten menschlichen Figuren zeigen diese in natürlichen Bewegungen und Haltungen, nie wirken diese heroisch oder pathetisch, sie spiegeln stattdessen mit einer gewissen Verhaltenheit allgemeine menschliche Grundstimmungen wider. H. 60 cm.
Ein weiteres Expl. befindet sich im Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen.
