Monumental Mahogany Sculpture, in manner of Hagenauer

About the Item

This African warrior, slender and attenuated, is a large and rare example of the stylized work of Karl Hagenauer and his contemporaries in Austria. It is beautifully executed in mahogany and brass. One of Europe's most brilliant and inventive interpreters of the new Art Deco style in the late 1920s, Hagenauer produced a wide range of decorative objects in brass and bronze, silver, hardwoods, and stone. Most of them capture the human form or an animal form in a way that is sophisticated and often whimsical.

"Shepherd and Shepherdess, " Monumental Art Deco Sculptures, Probably by De Vegh
By Geza De Vegh
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Monumental and dignified, this pair of Art Deco sculptures depict a shepherd and shepherdess, crisply shaped and stylized like the best of 1930s public sculpture, and painted in rich but subdued colors with an effect like sun-bleached stucco. It is our estimation that they were sculpted by Geza De Vegh, the Hungarian-American sculptor who created a range of pieces for the Lenox and Lamberton Scammell porcelain works, both in Trenton, New Jersey, as well as a group of rare ceramic pieces for the Phoenix Company. Importantly, De Vegh's work was very popular among set designers and art directors in Hollywood. His works are evident in the background of important Bette Davis films such as "The Letter," art directed by Carl Weyl; and "Now Voyager...
