Heinrich Karl Scholz, Declaration of Love, Art Deco Bronze Sculpture, 1919

About the Item

Art Deco Heinrich Karl Scholz Declaration of Love Patinated Bronze Sculpture Austria, 1919 DIMENSIONS Height: 13.75 inches Width: 6.75 inches Depth: 4.75 inches ABOUT This Art Deco brown-patinated bronze sculpture, stunning with its grace and fine lines, was created by the famous Austrian sculpture Heinrich Karl Scholz in 1919; and depicts an unusually dynamic and expressive composition of a scene of declaration of love between a slender nude female and a flexible as if gutta-percha, Harlequin. HEIRICH KARL SCHOLZ (Austrian, 1880-1937) was born in Bohemia, but lived and worked as a sculptor and medalist in Wien (Vienna). He first was trained in porcelain processing and modeling at the School of Applied Arts in Haindorf and at the State School of Applied Arts in Reichenberg, but he later studied sculpturing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wien. During World War I, Scholz was commissioned with the planning and building of 34 war cemeteries and memorials in Galicia. In 1920, he became a member of the Künstlerhaus Wien and in 1936 was advanced to vice-president. Scholz created numerous small statuettes and medals that were reproduced as figurines or bronze casts even years after his death.
