Schmitz, Hans. Group of Three. Bronze, black patina. Monogrammed "h. sch." on the bottom right of the base. 1924/circa 1972. Dimensions: 8 x 18 x 12 cm. The sculptor and graphic artist Hans Schmitz (1896–1977) was a member of the Cologne “Group of Progressive Artists.” A large portion of his work was destroyed in a bombing raid, which is why only a few of his works survive today. - “Schmitz created his sculptures primarily in plaster, clay, or art wax. Whether this was done solely for aesthetic or artistic reasons, or perhaps also due to limited financial means, cannot be said with certainty today. (...) In the 1970s, Schmitz had bronze casts made from these (plaster and clay) models for small editions (max. 7 copies) of some of his earlier sculptures.” (Cat. Galerie Glöckner, Cologne 2013, p. 3 ff.). These small bronze editions were distributed through Galerie Kunze in Berlin. – Slightly scuffed.
