Footballers
 

My old friend there is such a lovely bronze sculpture.
According to family stories was received as a prize at the 1936 Olympics in Munich.
Height 15-20cm, bronze castings.
Who knows what about this?
Please speak out.

I delighted!
(author probably Teuton?)

1936-The year? Munich? Reich?
For me, these footballers are too expressive and avant-garde ", recalling the sculpture, such as Arno Breker that time.
By the way, Hitler was a favorite skultor.

From hard to believe in the legend.

Missing German pedantry: signature reward (usually on the basis of, stone, etc.), author of the work specified, almost always, given the event - 100%.

Description: a time of triumph of will and work more representative of "degenerate" art direction, shall not Aryan, well and nude - this is not Germany's 30's with their cult of the ancient body.

For example, a photo of the soccer cup. I apologize for the quality - taken.

In 1936 Olympics held in Berlin.
Winners were awarded medals + oak wreath.
The winner receives more duba tree in a pot.
By the way, it is on that Olympic tradition was born torch relay from Greece to the site of the Olympics.
Joined them to the views expressed, it is not IT.

I helped a number of French Jews (or Jewish women, forgotten).

Well, like Dina Verni.

At the beginning of World War II, she lived with Mayollem and his family in a small town not far from Spain. Dean joined the resistance movement. Plucky girl hid fleeing from Nazism people in the artist and translating them across the border. In early 1941, she was arrested by the French police, was a trial, but Mayollyu with a good lawyer could justify the young patriot. At the insistence of the sculptor, she went to Matisse in Nice, where a few months he has worked as a model who waited until the noise abates. Notwithstanding the first arrest, Dina continued participation in the anti-fascist activities, and in 1943 was arrested again. At this time it was more serious: in Paris she was arrested by the Germans. For six months she spent in prison, where the interrogation followed the interrogation. No need to explain about the methods, however enjoyed the Gestapo. And this time to her rescue came Mayoll. He was familiar with Hitler's favorite sculptor Arno Breker. The leader of the Nazis considered the last German Michelangelo.
Mayol sent him a letter in which he explained what it means to him a young model.
Favorite Hitler Mayollyu treated with great respect and was familiar with him since the work in France. He strained all his connections and has yet to liberate "the latest muse" genius. But the story does not end there. Dina Verni had the opportunity to "to repay" Breker. After the defeat of Germany that he was in the filtration camp in the American zone, and now Dean has used his friends for his release. (c)
But in fact by Breker always write that he "in 1948, he passed the process of denazification and, despite a privileged position in the Third Reich, was classified only as a" fellow traveler. "In his favor demonstrated proven facts assistance to many victims of the regime, including the artist Pablo Picasso and publisher Peter Zurkampu ".

Those to me is very reminiscent of Matisse. Rather his drawings.
After all, there is something in common, is not it?

By the way, I remind these players Bourdelle ... yes ...

Already hot ....
So you look and find the author.
Thanks Kirill.
