Ruth Brouwer - VPK Zomer brons - Sold

So simple, really; a mother with child surrounded by flower and leaf branches. 'Summer' is written in large letters on the reverse. Something of the ripeness, volte and warmth of summer radiates from the design. Brouwer is Esser's student; she has a very own oeuvre to her name. Her themes are not sky-storming, nor does her design immediately catch the eye. But her approach, that of the absorbed narration, is a story of someone who seeks and finds his own way. A suggestion of simplicity and uncomplicatedness, the result of deliberation, however, and thinking through. The alternation between large areas and detailing, the friendly facial expression and the bold lettering make this medal an outstanding work of a true sculptor.
