About the Item
Inkwell "Repos" (rest), Gustav Gurschner, probably Paris World Exhibition 1900
This bronze inkwell was created in the context of the 1900 Paris World Exhibition. We see this in the markings "VIENNE" and "REPOS" in French language and in its year of creation "1900". During a two-year stay in Paris, Gustav Gurschner came into contact with the sculptures of Auguste Rodin, whose influence can be clearly seen in this object. The nude figure is depicted with great detail and emotion.
The inkwell is described in 1900 in "Die Kunst-Halle", a magazine for arts and crafts, as follows: "[...] an inkwell, which [Gurschner] calls "Repos", depicts a half-inclined overturned barrel, against which, leaning with the head, a huddled figure sleeps.". Further it is stated that his work "[...] always reveals a very fortunate connection between the creative idea and the utilitarian purpose of the object."
marked "GURSCHNER", "VIENNE", "1900" and "REPOS"

Gustave Gurschner
Gustav Gurschner, a sculptor, attended the School of Applied Arts in Vienna in 1888. Working under several artists, his time in Paris in 1897 proved to be most influential with regard to his stylistic development.
Gurschner embraced Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, as it was known in Austria. Part of the avant-garde movement, he participated in the inaugural exhibition of the Vienna Secession in 1898, maintaining close ties with those who later broke away to form the Weiner Werkstatte.
From 1904–08, Gurschner was a member of the Austrian group, Hagenbund. In addition to creating sculpted works including large-scale commemorative pieces and commissioned works by Emperor Franz-Josef, Gurschner created medals and was quite well known for his Art Nouveau bronze and glass lamps.
Examples of Gurschner's work can be found in the Berg-Isel Museum in Innsbruck and the Musée Galliera in Paris.
