Art Nouveau Bronze Sculpture "Polo Players" by Fred Voelckerling, 1919
Located in Bochum, NRW
A German Expressionist bronze sculpture "Polospielers" (Polo Players). Signed and marked 'Fred Voelckerling, 1919' on the base. In very good condition, normal wear and patina. Dimensions: 45x28x36.5 cm The aesthetic composition is depicting two polo players on horseback, in full competition. The horses' movement has a special elegance and sobriety, and the finish is of remarkable sensitivity, the anatomical elements are distinguished, without the stylization becoming of a trivial naturalism. The polo players are caught in a moment of maximum tension, struggling to keep both the horses in check and the clubs in play. The whole ensemble exudes the emotion of movement and competition, being a perfect example for the expressionist sculpture. Alfred (Fred) Hans Voelckerling (1872-1945) was a German artist who worked as both a sculptor and a painter. He has created many works of art that have been exhibited in different countries. His works are very impressive and often show people or animals in different situations. Voelckerling's art is well known and admired by many people around the world. After graduating from the Dresden school for arts and crafts where he worked in the studio of Robert Diez...
