About the Item

UH80304 Bronze Figure of a Korean Girl by Eudald Serra i Güell, circa 1940. A heavily cast bronze figure of a standing young girl in traditional Korean Hanbok dress consisting of a jeogori jacket and a long chima skirt. Her long hair braided into a single plait. The textural style is similar to Japanese sword cut carvings with a subtle angularity of design. Most likely this figural bronze was cast in the artist’s studio in Kobe, Japan around 1940. Etched signature on the back corner of the long skirt: “E.SERRA” Excellent condition. 11.5 in. high x 4.5 in. wide x 4 in. deep. (292 x 115 x 102mm) 6lbs. (2708g.) Provenance: Laura Green Odell (1922-2021), New York David Killen (1960-2023), New York Bio: Eudald Serra i Güell Barcelona, 1911 – Barcelona, 2002 Sculptor and ethnologist. A renowned surrealist sculptor, he was part of the pre-war Catalan artistic avant-garde, with the ADLAN group (Friends of Art Nouveau). He studied at the Escola d’Arts i Oficis Llotja, where he was a student of Ángel Ferrant. In 1935, he went to Japan, where he became involved in ceramics, through Hamada Shoji, and he staged a number of exhibitions which won various awards. He lived there until 1948. His interest in other cultures began during his trip to the island of Hokkaido in 1947, in the service of the United States army, during which he modelled busts of the original inhabitants of the land, an activity which he defined as “plastic anthropology” and which was a constant in all of his journeys.
