Large 1920s Danish Porcelain Sculpture
About the Item
This 1927 Royal Copenhagen porcelain sculpture is exceptionally large in scale, and appears to represent an Amazon with her hound. It is remarkable for the juxtaposition of the simplified forms of her limbs and base, seen in the carefully detailed flowers of her crown and the laurel-leaf trim. Her swoop of drapery is almost free-standing, and a technical tour de force. The classical subject of an idealized nude, imbued with a cool eroticism, harks back to the white marble sculptures of Bertel Thorvaldsen, a Dane himself, which were sculpted a century earlier. This porcelain was modeled by Arno Malinowski who trained as a sculptor at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen. From 1921 to 1935 he created models for Royal Copenhagen, and won a silver medal for them at the Paris 1925 Exposition. From 1934 to 1939 he taught at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. And from 1936 to 1965 he designed for the silversmithing firm of George Jensen. The sculptor's initials "A M" appear in the porcelain on the base.
This item comes with an associated ebonized wood base -- the overall dimensions of it on the base are 18.25 by 16.5 by 12.
