Josef Lorenzl (1 September 1892 – 15 August 1950) was an Austrian sculptor and ceramicist of the Art Deco period, the same era as Ferdinand Preiss (1882–1943) and Demetre Chiparus (1886–1947).
Lorenzl was born on 1 September 1882 in Vienna, Austria and died there on 15 August 1950. Little is known about his early years, but more is known about his later life. Lorenzl started his career working at a foundry at the Vienna Arsenal where he learned the techniques of bronze casting. The Vienna Arsenal was a military storage...

"Galata Morente" Sculpture in Bronze and Marble F. Barbedienne Fonduer
By F. Barbedienne Foundry
Located in Ciudad Autónoma Buenos Aires, C
F. Barbedienne fonduer
Ferdinand Barbedienne (6 August 1810 – 21 March 1892) was a French metalworker and manufacturer, who was well known as a bronze founder. The son of a small farmer from Calvados, he started his career as a dealer in wallpaper in Paris. In 1838 he went into partnership with Achille Collas (1795-1859), who had just invented a machine to create miniature bronze replicas of statues. Together they started a business selling miniatures of antique statues from museums all over Europe, thus democratising art and making it more accessible to households.[2] From 1843 they extended their scope by reproducing the work of living artists and also diversified by making enamelled household objects. With the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 the firm briefly had to switch to cannon founding owing to the shortage of metals but resumed business afterwards. Following Barbedienne's death in 1892, he was buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery and the firm was carried on by his nephew Gustave Leblanc until 1952. Among the principal artists reproduced by the firm were Antoine Louis Barye and Auguste Rodin.

Meret Oppenheim
Meret Oppenheim -Traccia Table - The person and the works of German-Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) are forever associated with surrealism and 20th century art history.
Meret Oppenheim, in full Meret Elisabeth Oppenheim, (born October 6, 1913, Berlin, Germany—died November 15, 1985, Basel, Switzerland), German-born Swiss artist whose fur-covered teacup, saucer, and spoon became an emblem of the Surrealist movement. The piece, created when Oppenheim was just 23 years old, became so famous that it overshadowed the rest of her career.
Oppenheim’s father was German and Jewish and her mother was Swiss. In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, the family moved from Germany to Switzerland. Oppenheim was encouraged by her father and by her maternal grandmother, author and illustrator Lisa Wenger-Ruutz, to pursue art. Thus, in 1929 she began art studies at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel (through 1930). She then moved to Paris and briefly attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in 1932.
Being in Paris offered Oppenheim the opportunity to connect with leading avant-garde artists, which, more than schooling, gave her entrée into the art world. In 1933 she met Alberto Giacometti, Man Ray, André Breton, and Jean (Hans) Arp. Oppenheim was quickly absorbed into the Surrealist circle and exhibited three paintings at the Salon des Surindépendants in Paris in 1933. Soon after meeting Man Ray, she became his muse and modeled for images such as Érotique Voilée (1933; “Erotic Veiled”), in which she appeared nude behind...
