 |
Gutfreund
(1889-1927) grew up in a Czech and Jewish environment in the small
town Dvůr Králové in northern Bohemia . After attending a school of
ceramics in Bechyne, he studied at the Prague school of decorative
and applied arts from 1906 to 1909. |
Subsequently,
he went to Emile-Antoine
Bourdelle in Paris, who
taught the sculpture class
at the private 'Académie de
la Grande Chaumičre'. Otto
Gutfreund worked in
Bourdelle's studio until
1910. After visiting several
European cities, Otto
Gutfreund returned to Prague
in 1910, where he joined a
group of artists known as 'Skupina
výtvarných umelcu v Praze',
whose first of four
exhibitions took place at
the Prague parish hall in
1912. In 1913 Gutfreund
showed some sculptures at
the first 'Deutscher
Herbstsalon', in Herwarth
Walden's Berlin gallery 'Der
Sturm' and in the Munich 'Goltz-Salon'.
Gutfreund further developed
Cubist tendencies together
with the Czech painters Emil
Filla and Bohumil Kubista
and became one of the
leading cubist sculptors
alongside Picasso and
Archipenko. After serving in
the war, when he was
interned in a camp in
Provence, Otto Gutfreund
made a living doing odd jobs
in Paris from 1918.
Gutfreund gradually
recovered his creativity and
returned to Prague in 1920.
In 1921 he joined the
artist's association 'SVU
Mánes'. After a short
Constructivist phase around
1919 Gutfreund returned to
figuration in the 1920s. In
1926 he was appointed
professor of architectural
sculpture at the Prague
school for decorative and
applied arts. One year later
Otto Gutfreund drowned in
the river Moldau on June 2,
1927. www.otto-gutfreund-com |
