Werner, Selmar: Portraitbüste des Malers Hans Unger Portraitbüste des Malers Hans Unger. Bronze, schwarzgrün patiniert. H. 61,5 cm. Im Sockel mit dem Giessersignet und Datum "Guss A. Milde & C. Dresden (19)03.", sowie signiert "S. Werner". Der aus einer Thüringer Bauernfamilie stammende Selmar Werner begann seine Tätigkeit als Kunstschnitzer und Stuckbildner, zunächst in Berlin, wo er auch schon erste Modellierstudien bei Eduard Lürssen schuf. In Hamburg bildete er sich bei Richard Thiele fort und kam so im Herbst 1892 an die Dresdner Akademie, wo er unter anderem mit Ernst Barlach und Richard Suhr zusammen studierte. Ab 1894 war er Meisterschüler bei Robert Diez. Schon während seiner Studienzeit erhielt er zahlreiche Auszeichnungen. Im Jahre 1898 gründete er schließlich eine eigene Bildhauerwerkstatt und wurde 1906 Hudlers Nachfolger an der Dresdner Akademie und später Inhaber des Meisterateliers für Bildhauerei. Um 1900 schuf er eine Reihe von Bildnisbüsten zeitgenössischer Künstler, so auch die hier vorliegende Büste mit dem Bildnis des für seine "arkadischen Frauen" berühmten Dresdner Jugendstilmalers und Symbolisten Hans Unger (1872-1936), der von seinen Zeitgenossen gelegentlich als der letzte Dresdner Malerfürst bezeichnet wurde. Von dieser Büste ist lediglich ein weiterer Abguss in der Skulpturensammlung Dresden (Inv. Nr. ZV 2221) bekannt, bei der Hintergrund des unteren Teils mit der den Pinsel haltenden Hand wohl zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt vergoldet wurde. Provenienz: Privatsammlung Dresden. Literatur: vgl. Rolf Günther: Hans Unger. Leben und Werk mit dem Verzeichnis der Druckgraphik, Dresden 1997, S. 33 mit Abb. vgl. Jugendstil in Dresden. Aufbruch in die Moderne. Ausst.

Mahmoud Mokhtar (Egypt, 1891-1934)On the Banks of the Nile bronze sculpturesigned 'M. Moukhtar' on the base, cast posthumously in 1979 by Giovanni and Angelo Nicci, Fondatori Artistici, Roma, accompanied by an invoice from the foundry, executed in October 1979Height: 40cmFootnotes:Provenance:Acquired by the late Saleh Abdoun, Director of the Egyptian Academy of Fine Arts, 1979-1983 from Giovanni and Angelo Nicci, Fondatori Artistici, Roma in October 1979Note:The work is accompanied by a copy of the original foundry invoice'Mokhtar was a devoted son of Egyptian female villagers, whom he idolized in his works as a graceful symbol of Egypt. Mokhtar is the genuine product of Egypt, he came from its countryside, he formed the conscience of a whole nation, so he has been etched in the national memory as our pioneering sculptor'- Mohsen ShaalanPoignant, enigmatic and graceful, 'On the Banks of the Nile' is the archetypal synthesis of Mokhtar's representations of the noble Egyptian rural peasant or fellahaMokhtar's empathetic and stylized representations of Egyptian daily life, pronounced so touchingly in the present work, would later be regarded as the supreme expression of Egyptian artistic heritage in the twentieth century.Tender and ennobling in its portrayal of the dignified Egyptian fellaha (or peasant woman), the sculpture is evidence of an artist who captured the true spirit of the age in his penetrative renderings of the Egyptians and their everyday plight.Mahmoud Mokhtar is considered a pioneer of modern Egyptian art, yet he also occupies a prominent place in the history of the modern Egyptian nation. Self-styled as the first Egyptian sculptor in over two millennia, Mahmoud Mokhtar deftly blended Pharaonic imagery with a modern European sculptural aesthetic to create quintessentially nationalist Egyptian artwork. ​​This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
