Bronze Inkwell "Repos" Gustav Gurschner ca. 1900 Austrian Art Nouveau Jugendstil
About the Item
Inkwell "Repos" (rest), Gustav Gurschner, probably Paris World Exhibition 1900
This bronze inkwell was created in the context of the 1900 Paris World Exhibition. We see this in the markings "VIENNE" and "REPOS" in French language and in its year of creation "1900". During a two-year stay in Paris, Gustav Gurschner came into contact with the sculptures of Auguste Rodin, whose influence can be clearly seen in this object. The nude figure is depicted with great detail and emotion.
The inkwell is described in 1900 in "Die Kunst-Halle", a magazine for arts and crafts, as follows: "[...] an inkwell, which [Gurschner] calls "Repos", depicts a half-inclined overturned barrel, against which, leaning with the head, a huddled figure sleeps.". Further it is stated that his work "[...] always reveals a very fortunate connection between the creative idea and the utilitarian purpose of the object."
marked "GURSCHNER", "VIENNE", "1900" and "REPOS"

- Gustav Gurschner Bronze Female Figure CandelabrumBy Gustave GurschnerLocated in New York, NYA bronze Art Nouveau figural candelabrum by Gustav Gurschner. A young woman with twin buns, dressed in a long flowing skirt, with her breasts exposed, holds a seed capsule in each arm, into which a candle can be inserted. Gurschner displayed his work through the Viennese Secession Group gaining him much acclaim. His depiction of bare breasted women largely survives any stricture in that they have a quiet dignity and poetic charm that never stoops to vulgarization. The woman holds in each arm a lotus flower seed capsule. The size of the capsules relative to her body makes her seem a flower fairy or spirit. A candle would be placed on each capsule, illuminating the dinner table with spectacular charm.
