About Julius Thomas Tamar
Tamar was born in 1949 in Silesia and now lives in Münster, Germany. He was always a real rouge. And so, he has already provoked and surprised the art world with humour and imagination at numerous exhibitions in Germany, Poland, France, Italy, Hungary, Russia and Yugoslavia.
In his objects, Julius Thomas Tamar combines classical motifs with his very own, always from a humorous point of view. In this way, he creates sculptures of exceptional loveliness. No wonder that his objects can already be found in numerous private and public collections in Western and Eastern Europe and the USA.
Term for an art object (sculpture, installation), which is produced in multiple copies in a limited and numbered edition according to the artist‘s will.
Artist's multiples have been called the most accessible and affordable art on the market.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
