OTTO GUTFREUND (CZECH 1889-1927)
Est: £800 - £1,200
OTTO GUTFREUND (CZECH 1889-1927) NATURE MORTE stamped and numbered 36 by the artist's estate on the reverse pen, ink and wash on paper 27 x 22cm; 10 1/2 x 8 3/4in 54 x 47cm; 21 1/4 x 18 1/2in (framed) Executed between 1910-19 on the reverse of a piece of Moravian Insurance Company headed paper that features the crest of the Margraviate of Moravia, a crown land that in 1918 became one of the five founding territories incorporated into the newly formed country of Czechoslovakia. Gutfreund made a number of sketches in pen and ink on such letterheaded papers, using the loose sheets as other artists would a sketchbook. His use of this specific paper has become a helpful way of verifying such works. The angular oblongs in the sketch that jut into empty spaces on the page as if three dimensional constructions are a graphic depiction of Gutfreund’s interest in creating three-dimensional works from flat pieces of wood between 1910-1920. He termed this exploration of space ‘consistent abstract constructivism’, and both his drawings and sculptures during this period reflect his determined shift towards Cubism. Gutfreund was one of the pre-eminent fathers of Czech Modernism. Born in Northern Bohemia, he studied pottery in Bechyně before enrolling in the School of Decorative Arts, Prague where he explored figurative and ornamental modelling. In Prague, he met the French sculptor Antoine Bourdelle who encouraged him to enrol in his Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. After working with Bourdelle he returned to Prague in 1910, and the following year co-founded Skupina výtvarných umělců (Group of Creative Artists), a collective informed by Western European avant-garde art that promoted Czech Modern artists to an international audience. In 1914 he was invited by Herwarth Walden to exhibit with Der Sturm in Berlin, and returned to Paris where he met Picasso, Gris, the poet Apollinaire and the dealer Daniel-Henri Kahnweiler. During the War he served in the French Foreign Legion seeing action on the Somme, but was interned in a French prison camp near Avignon for two years. In 1920 he returned to Prague where he developed a more naturalist figurative style.

OTTO GUTFREUND 1889 - 1927 - A FIREPLACE
Est: -
The rare fireplace designed by Otto Gutfreund features two reliefs, allegories of the four seasons. While in the left front two girls personify Spring and Summer, the right cachel represents Autumn and Winter. The design for the sculptural decoration of the fireplace was created for the company L. and C. Hardmuth. The figures in relief, as if suspended from a still background without any indication of terrain, are a typical example of Gutfreund's new creative sculptural solutions from his late period. His work of the last seven years 1921-1927 is very rich. At that time, the acclaimed and successful artist was invited by architects to collaborate: he was entrusted with the design of monuments as well as works for interior decoration. In 1926 he was appointed professor of sculpture at the School of Applied Arts in Prague. Otto Gutfreund, the founding figure of Czech modern sculpture, whose work still enjoys undying collector interest, is one of our most important sculptors of world renown. References: The model of the fireplace and the separate reliefs are reproduced under numbers 362, 363 and 364 in the inventory catalogue. GUTFREUND, Otto.
