Lot 721 | Max Klinger
Max KlingerThe Bathing WomanKLINGER, MAX1857 Leipzig - 1920 Großjena/ NaumburgTitle: The Bathing Woman. Technique: Bronze, dark brown patinated. Height: 40cm. Notation: Inscribed on the side: MK. Foundry Mark: On the backside of the plinth foundry drawing: Aktien-Gesellschaft-Gladenbeck-Berlin. Frame/Pedestal: plinth. Provenance:Private ownership, Germany. Max Klinger is one of the most important German artistic personalities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was active as a graphic artist, painter and sculptor. His work as a sculptor led to him often being cited as the German equivalent of Rodin. Klinger's style can be described as a blending of various influences from his training. His studies at the "Großherzogliche Badische Kunstschule" in Karlsruhe, the "Königliche Akademie der Künste" in Berlin as well as his numerous journeys through the European art centres of his time are to be emphasised. Max Klinger's pictorial language is characterised by a reassessment of the reception of antiquity in neoclassicism, in which he incorporated the new archaeological findings of the late 19th century into his sculptures.In the full-body sculpture - "The Bathing Woman" (Lot. No.721) - the beauty of the female body, the harmonious interplay of all its parts and an unmistakably narcissistic moment are in the foreground. She is especially distinguished by the upper body bent to the left and at the same time by the arms folded on the back. This skilful all-view composition repeatedly opens up new perspectives of vision for the viewer.This is a cast of Max Klinger's original marble sculpture, which is now in the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig (Inv. No. 27).
