Klassische Moderne – Schenkung des Künstlers an einen Freund. - Das vorliegende Werk zeigt die thronende Darstellung einer jungen Frau in formstrenger, klassisch-moderner Manier und ist charakteristisch für Kurt Edzards expressives Spätwerk. Diese Phase ist von einer zunehmenden Reduktion und Vereinfachung der Form geprägt. Edzards Schaffen verbindet eine präzise Naturbeobachtung mit einer klaren, reduzierten Formensprache und zeichnet sich durch ein feines Gespür für Bewegung und Charakter aus.
Classical Modernism – Original plaster sculpture (working model). Surface with characteristic modelling marks. - Discolouration to the reverse. Surface slightly dusty. Minor occasional abrasions. Overall in very good condition. A superb model from the artist's late oeuvre. - Gift from the artist to a friend. - The present work shows a throned depiction of a young woman in a strictly formal, classically modern manner and is characteristic of Kurt Edzard's expressive late work. This phase is marked by a progressive reduction and simplification of form. Edzard's oeuvre combines precise observation of nature with a clear, reduced formal language and is distinguished by a subtle sense for movement and character.
