About the Item
A fine modernist solid wooden sculpture of a nude couple embracing in the manner of Rodin by South African artist Herman Wald (1906-1970). Wald was born into a Rabbinical family in Cluj in Hungary before the outbreak of the First World War, studied sculpture in Budapest, Vienna, Berlin and London before emigrating to South Africa in 1937. It was in Johannesburg that he established a prolific and diverse sculptural career, undertaking a number of well-known public commissions as well as many private and personal projects. Wald's public sculptures are a notable feature of the urban landscape in such mining cities as Johannesburg and Kimberley. He is perhaps best known to the South African public for the seemingly weightless and flying forms of his bronze fountain-piece Stampede (otherwise known as the "Impala Fountain") (1960) in central Johannesburg.
This carved figural sculpture has a red/rust painted finish, signed on base “H WALD”, with some surface craquelure, scratches, shrinkage cracks and light overall wear commensurate with age. Dimensions: Approximately 37 in H x 11 in W x 9.75 in D. Ref: 56029
