Michel MilbergerFriendship, comfort: hand modelled sculpture by Polish Jewish French artist circa 1970
circa 1970
About the Item
An extraordinary depiction of friendship and comfort by Polish Jewish sculptor Michal Michael Milberger.
Milberger was born in Warsaw in 1922. His artistic training began at the Warsaw School of Fine Arts. Michal studied in Moscow from 1939, which probably saved his life: he lost much of his family the Warsaw ghetto. Graduating in Arts in Moscow, where he subsequently taught at the Academy after obtaining his doctorate, Milberger settled in Paris in 1963.
The original hand modelled plaster sculpture presented here, a unique piece, comes from the artist's studio. It is signed at the verso, and dated indistinctly, 1967 or 1981 (?).
A noted portraitist, Milberger scupted the busts of several Nobel prize winners, artists, and that of the poet Czeslaw Milosz.
His sculpture "Mother and Child" is Ghetto Fighters' House, the Itzhak Katzenelson Holocaust and Jewish Resistance Heritage Museum. In the US, a work by the artist can also be found in the Harvard Art Museums.
