JOSEF LORENZL for GOLDSCHEIDER, hand-painted ceramic figurine

Graceful figurine depicting a dancer by the well-known Austrian sculptor and ceramist Josef Lorenzl (1892-1950) for the Goldscheider porcelain factory, refined example of ceramic art decorated in polychrome under paint from the 20s en plein esprit Art Deco.

Under the rhomboid base there is the signature painted in black “Lorenzl” and the Goldscheider manufacturing brand – Made in Austria.

Dimensions: Height 30 cm Length 26 cm Base diameter 19 cm x 12 cm

The Austrian master, remembered for his "figurines", has often focused his artistic research on celebrating the sinuous morphology of the female body, focusing his attention on the grace of dancing ballerinas.

The woman depicted here is one of the trademarks of Lorenzl's production, graceful in all her development and punctuated by the graceful movements of her slender body. The musical cadence of her barely mentioned steps and the stylistic progression of her pelvis and arms do justice to this little masterpiece, evoking her radiant 20s, bringing to mind timeless myths such as Niddy Impekoven or Joséphine Baker.

Like his contemporaries Ferdinand Preiss (1882-1943) and Demetre Chiparus (1886-1947), Lorenzl dedicated himself, in addition to ceramic production, also to the creation of small bronze or chryselephantine sculptures, i.e. made up of a combination of different materials such as ivory, bronze, gold and silver.
