About the Item
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 in Dresden and later in the studio of Emmanuel Frémiet in Paris. In 1905 he founded his own studio in Dresden. He created a lot of official monuments, including art sculpture for the 1928 Summer Olympics. His true passion was for animal sculptures, he has started to draw horse when he was only 4 years old! Many of Fred Voelckerling's bronzes were destroyed in Germany during the WW2, that's why many of his bronzes disappeared, being melt to be used to produce weapons and ammunition, like it happened actually to many other bronze art items.
