About Erwin A. Schinzel

German sculptor, 1919-2018

Erwin A. Schinzel was a true "classic" artist among sculptors. An artist who created works that are entirely in the tradition of their art. They openly and undisguisedly inherit the greats of their field and yet still appear up to date.

His works show the sovereignty of craftsmanship of a time when accuracy and perfection of representation were still the highest standards of sculpture. They deliberately ignore all the fashions and modernisms of the century that essentially encompassed his lifetime.

Schinzel was noticed early on for his creative genius: Just twenty years old, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and was accepted into the small, exclusive circle of Arno Breker's master students. He took trips to Greece and Crete, where he studied the ancient examples of sculpture.

He was a freelance artist for eight decades and created hundreds of sculptures during this period. Furthermore, he worked as a professor at the International Academy of Fine and Applied Arts in Altenburg and the International Academy in Bologna.

His sculptures mainly have one theme: the human being in all its undisguised beauty. With these sculptures, beauty appears unbroken. And it is, in a sense, the eye of the beholder that is celebrated here.

"The human being who, with creative talent, gives the experience of his environment back to us so that people can find themselves delighted in it, can only and need to see with the eyes of the soul in order to speak with his hands a language that is timeless and knows no boundaries." (Erwin A. Schinzel)

His oeuvre, which comprises many hundreds of works, also includes numerous depictions of animals, which in their vividness of execution can rival the works of the greatest animalists at any time.

Works from Schinzel's studio in Waldbronn, Germany, where he pursued his creative work daily, can be found in numerous collections at home and abroad. The artist passed away in December 2018.

An alloy of copper with other metals (especially with tin) used since ancient times. It is an ideal metal for high-quality artistic castings, capable of enduring for millennia.

When casting bronze, the artist usually applies the lost-wax technique which is dating back more than 5000 years. This is the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.

First, the artist forms a model of their work. This model is embedded in a liquid silicone rubber mass. Once the material has solidified, the model is cut out, leaving a negative mould. Liquid wax is then poured into the negative mould. After cooling down, the wax cast is removed from the mould, provided with sprues and dipped into ceramic mass. The ceramic mass is hardened in a kiln, where the wax melts away (lost mould).

Finally, the negative mould is ready, into which the 1400° C hot molten bronze is poured. After the bronze had cooled down, the ceramic shell is broken apart, reavoling the sculpture.

Next, the sprues are removed, the surfaces are polished, patinated and numbered by the artist or by a specialist, following their instructions. Thus, each casting is an original work.

For lower-quality bronze castings, the sand casting method is often used, which, however, does not achieve the results of a more elaborate lost-wax technique in terms of surface characteristics and quality.

Term for an art object (sculpture, installation) that, according to the artist’s intention, is produced in multiple copies within a limited and numbered edition.

Multiples enable the "democratization" of art by making the work accessible and affordable for a wider audience.
