Erwin A. Schinzel: Sculpture 'Wellenrauschen', version in bronze

For the 100th birthday of Erwin A. Schinzel: Sculpture 'Wellenrauschen' available in two versions. On 24 October 2019, Erwin A. Schinzel would have been 100 years old. Throughout his life, Schinzel was a 'classic' among sculptors. An artist who created works that are entirely in the tradition of their art, openly and unabashedly inheriting the greats in their field and yet still managing to appear contemporary. His works display a mastery of craftsmanship in which accuracy and perfection of representation are the highest standards of sculpture, and his sculptures have one theme above all: man, and this in his undisguised beauty. In them, beauty comes into its own without interruption, and in a sense it is also the eye of the beholder that is celebrated here.sculpture 'Wellenrauschen': She has just emerged from the waves and, her hair pinned up with an artfully tied hairband, is letting the power of the sun dry her skin. With her eyes closed, she listens to the sea. Schinzel's work thus appeals to the viewer's senses in two ways: The visible and the audible are equally present.
