Posted on July 11, 2012 by janice

Vienna bronze items are very collectable and range in size from the inkwell with 3 daschunds by , Friedrich Gornik, down to the tiniest of mice just a few millimetres in size. The production of these items was begun almost accidentally when a metal foundry who made decorative peipwork started to make and paint small bronze items which became very popular. The most famous maker was ,Franz Bergman, and some of his work can make many thousands of pounds

Just uploaded a fantastic new bronze onto the site. Adof Daumiller, – The Swimmer. A stunning patinated ,Art Deco bronze ,figure of a nude woman. Signed c 1930. This figure was also known as ‘On the beach’ when it was first made. However it was one of the figures that ,Rosenthal, produced in porcelain and renamed it The Swimmer. 45 cm tall including marble base.

The Swimmer

Gustav Adolf Daumiller (born November 10, 1876 in Memmingen, died 16 January 1962 in Munich) was a German sculptor and medalist. Daumiller was born the fourth of ten children. In 1898 he began studying at the Design Academy in Hanau, and in 1900 went to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. From 1902 to 1904 he continued his education in London and studied from 1904 at the Academie Julian in Paris and from 1905 to 1907 at the city’s Ecole des Beaux-Arts. From 1908 he worked in Munich and he was regularly represented at the art exhibitions in the Glass Palace. In addition to large and small sculptures created Daumiller also designed medals and plaques. He created designs for sculptures, which were made by Rosenthal in porcelain.

the Princess and The Frog

Sculptors and artists frequently use contemporary fiction or news as inspiration for their work. Andy Warhol, was well known for his work featuring Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot. In the late 19th and early 20th century sculptors were using contemporary figures and fiction in much the same way. The work of ,Hans Christian Anderson, for example was often used by sculptors such as ,Eric Gill,. The sculptor, Emmanuel Villanis, was well known for using the current successes at the Paris Opera as inspiration for his work. This small bronze by Karl P Kowalczewski ( 1876-1927) is typical of this genre. A fashionable piece guaranteed to raise a smile
