One of the most important Austrian sculptors of the twentieth century, Fritz Wotruba had
already shown his enthusiasm for the geometric qualities of the objective world in his early
work from the late 1920s. In his oeuvre, the dismantling of the objective into elementary forms
took place in stages, during which he explored the possibilities of concrete means of expression.
In this relief the figures are modeled from cylinders and tubes. Wotruba’s exploration of the
body’s proportions is precisely manifested in his works. Figural Relief was designed for the
Brussels World’s Fair in 1958 as part of the overall concept of the Austrian pavilion, just like the
building by Karl Schwanzer, today’s Belvedere 21.Sculpture1060017066335Belvedere 21image/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/91130/fullimage/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/87211/fullhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-66335/manifest
