Franz Xavier Bergman, Oriental Dancer, Jugenstil Vienna Bronze Sculpture, 1900s
About the Item
This provocative, desk-size bronze statuette of a semi-nude oriental dancer in a sensuous, rather candid pose rendered in the best Art Nouveau traditions of the world-famous Viennese foundry of Franz Xavier Bergman of cold-painted bronze, enamel and glass.
The statuette is mounted on the original pink/white/brown round marble base. In addition to the extremely elaborated outfit and headdress of the dancer, as the part of the composition, the base partially covered by a crumpled multicolored cold-painted bronze floor rug, which makes the whole sculpture even more realistic.
Franz Xaver Bergman (1861–1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze oriental, erotic and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objects d'art.
Cold painted bronze refers to pieces cast in Vienna and then decorated in several layers with so-called dust paint; the expertise for the mix of this kind of paint has been lost. The color was not fired hence "cold painted".
Mainly women working at home, a typical cottage industry, carried out the painting.
Noted for his detailed and colorful work, Bergman was signing his creations with either a "B" in an urn-shaped cartouche, or "Nam Greb" - for "Bergman" in reverse. These marks used to disguise his identity on the erotic works. This particular statuette is signed with both, "B" in an urn-shaped cartouche AND "Nam Greb".
