Statuette "Woman with a whip"

Immerse yourself in the era of flamboyant, audacious beauty epitomized by the expressive sculptures of Austrian artisan Bruno Zach. Visit the alluring world of the 1920s through the vibrant and evocative works of one of Austria's most prolific sculptors. Bruno Zach, born in 1891, was a master in embodying the spirit of his times in his art, leaving behind an enduring legacy after his demise in 1935.

Unafraid to challenge the norms, Zach sculpted women of die Neue Frau (the New Woman) Movement, mirroring the emancipated Austrian society of his era. His daring works star uniquely characterized heroines—women sporting stylish leather pantsuits or nonchalantly puffing cigarettes, rebellious cancan dancers, and eccentric dames extravagant in petticoats. They're provocatively posing as they tie their stockings or flaunt a riding whip, embodying women's liberation and strength.

Zach uniquely intertwined an intimate portrayal of these new-age women, integrating elements of ladies' negligee into his sculpted compositions. This audacious infusion was an outright shocker for many but also served to further emphasize the concept of a free, emancipated, and resolute modern woman.

Bruno Zach's talent for capturing this transformative moment in society, with a stunning level of detail and sensitivity, has ensured the enduring appeal of his work among collectors and art connoisseurs alike. Each Zach sculpture is much more than a decorative piece; it's a bold statement and a testament to an age of feminine emancipation and societal transformation.
