"Vier Erdteile". Originaltitel
Lebensgroße, weiß glasierte Majolika- bzw. Fayencefiguren. Auf mehrfach gekanteter Plinthe stehende, schauseitig konzipierte, weibliche Figuren in locker drapierten Gewändern, die vier Kontinente Amerika, Afrika, Asien und Europa personifizierend. Charakteristisch für diese Figuren und allgemein die Formensprache Wackerles in den 20er Jahren ist eine blockhafte Stilisierung mit oft eckig umbrechenden Falten sowie mandelförmige Augen. Die "Vier Erdteile" wurden von Wackerle ursprünglich als Pfeilerfiguren des sog. "Majolika-Tempels" für die Manufaktur Nymphenburg entworfen - aufgestellt in der Hauptausstellungshalle der "Deutschen Gewerbeschau" 1922 in München. International gezeigt wurden die Figuren 1927 auf der berühmten III. Internationalen Kunstgewerbeausstellung in Monza sowie in der Ausstellung "Europäisches Kunstgewerbe 1927" im Leipziger Kunstgewerbemuseum (Grassi-Museum). Eine Figur unw. best.; H. 159 cm - 164 cm.
