Lot 689 | Michael Schwarze (Krefeld 1939). A Seated Woman.
1983. Nutwood. Figure: H. 102 cm, overall heigt: 154 cm. Monogr. MS. A symbol of summer in the form of a voluptuous female torso sitting on a column. Beneath a covering that has not been completely removed and lies over her body like a second skin, the figure personifies the beauty of summer in its voluptuousness - Literature: G. Essen. Michael Schwarze. Skulpturen. Köln 1985, ill. p. 73 - After an apprenticeship as a carpenter, Schwarze studied architecture in Krefeld from 1957-59 and at the HFBK Berlin under Karl Hartung from 1959-64; he has been a freelance sculptor since 1964. Numerous individual and group exhibitions as well as works for public spaces. 1967 Villa Romana Prize, 1969 Art Prize of the City of Krefeld, since 1989 resident in Bahlingen am Kaiserstuhl. - The most important sources of inspiration were initially classical Greek themes and literary works. With a unique imagination of form, Schwarze creates chimerical hybrid beings 'which may appear abstruse to the unprepared viewer who is confronted with Schwarze's works for the first time..They suggest a mystery which they do not, however, reveal. They cannot be justified from nature and its phenomena, although they do reproduce natural forms in their parts. But whoever is able to embark on an adventure with them will soon find them fascinating, enchanting and exciting' (Hans.H. Hofstätter, in: Michael Schwarze. Werkbuch, Krefeld, 2009, p. 109). Mus.: Darmstadt, Kunsthalle; Wolfsburg, Städtische Galerie; Heilbronn, Städt. Museum Lit.: Michael Schwarze. Werkbuch. Krefeld, 2009; Essen, Gerd-Wolfgang. Michael Schwarze. Skulpturen. Hamburg, 1985
