About the Item
This French Art Nouveau bronze pin tray by Gustav Gurschner titled “Symbolist Reverie” depicts the face of a sleeping maiden wearing a diadem. Her long, flowing hair swirls before her relaxed, sleep-like visage to create the tray. The headpiece she wears bears a singular red stone in the center of her forehead. The woman’s dream-like state is referred to in the title as the reverie, which is the French for the phenomenon of daydreaming. The woman in reverie is a famous Art Nouveau trope, most notably produced in lithograph by Alphonse Mucha’s “Reverie,” created in 1897.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
This design by Gustav Gurschner was created for La Maison Moderne, the Montmartre home purchased by Spanish Ramon Pichot Gironès in 1905. The Catalan and Spanish artist was a close friend of Pablo Picasso and an influence on the young Salvador Dalí whom Gironès met when the surrealist was only ten years old. This bronze tray not only carries a famous Art Nouveau Motif but also the legacy of a generation of master artists.

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.
