/internal/media/dispatcher/55436/fullSmall Torso III1971[Fritz Wotruba]Fritz WotrubaBronze In his final years, from 1969 onward, Fritz Wotruba—one of the most significant sculptors of international postwar modernism—returned to human figures reduced to their basic elements. Earlier in his career, he had constructed dynamic, strictly architectural figures by stacking and layering cubes and slab-like elements. His later work conveys a renewed, organic sensuality, defined by a return to basic, anthropomorphic structures; bone-like elements; deep incisions instead of joints, and a sculpturally worked surface. This new corporeality relates to Wotruba’s lifelong engagement with Michelangelo, which he intensified in his final years.Sculpture© Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/46969/rdf
