Lot-No. 651
Proceeds : 4.400 €
1968. Patinated bronze. H. 67 cm. On the top of the plinth monogrammed MS in oval cartouche, dat. 68, numbered copy 4/4. The Aggressive is one of the artist's early works. Similar to the sculpture 'Tooth-to-tooth', a demonic being appears here as a symbol of desire, consisting of a striding lower body and an attached hand that grasps blindly. - Literature: Michael Schwarze. Werkbuch. Krefeld, 2009, p. 29 - Provenance: Essen Collection, Hamburg - After an apprenticeship as a carpenter, Schwarze studied architecture in Krefeld from 1957-59 and at the HFBK Berlin under Karl Hartung from 1959-64; he has been a freelance sculptor since 1964. Numerous individual and group exhibitions as well as works for public spaces. 1967 Villa Romana Prize, 1969 Art Prize of the City of Krefeld, since 1989 resident in Bahlingen am Kaiserstuhl. - The most important sources of inspiration were initially classical Greek themes and literary works. With a unique imagination of form, Schwarze creates chimerical hybrid beings 'which may appear abstruse to the unprepared viewer who is confronted with Schwarze's works for the first time..They suggest a mystery which they do not, however, reveal. They cannot be justified from nature and its phenomena, although they do reproduce natural forms in their parts. But whoever is able to embark on an adventure with them will soon find them fascinating, enchanting and exciting' (Hans.H. Hofstätter, in: Michael Schwarze. Werkbuch, Krefeld, 2009, p. 109). Mus.: Darmstadt, Kunsthalle; Wolfsburg, Städtische Galerie; Heilbronn, Städt. Museum Lit.: Michael Schwarze. Werkbuch. Krefeld, 2009; Essen, Gerd-Wolfgang. Michael Schwarze. Skulpturen. Hamburg, 1985
