EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of "Beach Dancer, c. 1935" by Johann Philipp Ferdinand Preiss. The sculpture, made from bronze and ivory with a cold painted patina, stands tall on a green and black onyx base. Standing at a height of 39.5 cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection. Preiss' attention to detail is evident in this close-up shot, showcasing the intricate carving and delicate craftsmanship that went into creating this figurine. The dancer's graceful posture and raised arms exude an aura of elegance and movement. The artist's use of metalwork combined with precious stones adds an element of luxury to the sculpture. The patina gives it an aged appearance while enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Set against a plain background, the focus remains solely on the artwork itself, allowing viewers to appreciate every aspect of its beauty. This early twentieth-century masterpiece represents German art at its finest. Capturing both strength and delicacy in one object, "Beach Dancer" embodies the spirit of dance through its representation of human likeness in motion. It serves as a testament to Preiss' talent as both sculptor and artist. This studio shot by Bridgeman Images showcases not only the artwork but also highlights its historical significance within European art during this period. A true gem among Preiss' body of work, "Beach Dancer" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm.
