Rudolf Kaesbach (1873 - 1955)

Rudolf Kaesbach

Rudolf Kaesbach was a German sculptor. 

Rudolf Kaesbach studied at the academies of Hanau (drawing), Paris (foundry) and Brussels. In Düsseldorf he ran a workshop in which he cast his own models.

After 1904, Rudolf Kesbach presented a series of life-size marble figures to the public at exhibitions in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Malmö. Later he devoted himself increasingly to the depiction of nude women. Much of his work took him beyond Art Nouveau to Art Deco.

In 1939, 1940, 1941 and 1943, Kiesbach exhibited his sculptures at the Great German Art Exhibitions in Munich. These exhibitions were representative under National Socialism.
