Item Overview

Description


Rolf Szymanski (1928 Leipzig - 2013 Berlin) (F) 'Eng sind die Schiffe II', 1978, bronze, dark patina, dimensions 68 cm x 75 cm x 28 cm, monogrammed, numbered 3/8, partial verdigris, with purchase receipt

Provenance: Galerie Brusberg; private collection, Hanover ´

The expressive sculptor Rolf Szymanski placed the human body at the centre of his work, especially the female body, with which he refers to existential states. "Narrow are the Ships" is the title of several of the artist's drawn, etched and sculptural works, which he borrowed from a 1957 poem by the poet Saint-John Perse. Standing upright behind the stern of a rowing boat, the female torso depicts the woman as pilot or guide. The bronze casts of his works do not attempt to conceal their origin from clay and plaster models; on the contrary, the working process of layering plaster mass is transferred directly and sensually to the bronze and allows the facture, the creation process, to form a part of the works' aesthetic appeal. Thus the amorphous figures with their rough, crusted and chapped surfaces are a symbol of the fractures and the imponderables of life. Numerous works by Szymanski can be found as large sculptures in public spaces, for example in Hanover, Berlin and Munich.
