"Work and Industry, "43" Magnificent Allegorical Relief Panel with Male Indian
About the Item
This rare and magnificent bas relief panel by Rudolf Mayer entitled "Handel Und Industrie" or "Work and Industry," makes fascinating use of German workers and a Native American to represent trade and Industrial Production in turn-of-the-century Germany. To the left is a young potter and an older blacksmith with a sailing ship in the background and to the right is a dignified Indian warrior, accepting compensation for his pelts. The jumble of European and American imagery is fascinating -- the presence of the Indian in loincloth illustrates the German fascination with Native Americans, though ironically he is shown accompanied by a German Shepherd! The relief's large size suggests that it was meant to hang in an institution or commercial setting; it is molded metal with a bronze patina.
