Detailed description

Sculpture "Till Eulenspiegel", bronze

There is truth in laughter! RobiN shows Eulenspiegel holding up a mirror to the times with skill and quick-wittedness. Till Eulenspiegel was the model for numerous poems from Hans Sachs to Gerhart Hauptmann. He was a vagabond from Braunschweig, Germany. Eulenspiegel's surname translates to "owl-mirror". He put on his jester's cap to play practical jokes on his contemporaries, at every turn exposing vices. The independent outsider took pleasure in duping all the know-it-alls and parodying their language.
Although his gravestone is in Mölln in Holstein, he is as alive as ever: his name entered the German language with the word "Eulenspiegeleien" (eng: pranks) and became a generic term in the Romance-speaking world: joker in French, for example, is called "espiègle".

ars mundi Exclusive Edition as a bronze sculpture from the series "Fairy Tales - Myths - Legends". Cast by hand using the Lost-Wax-Process. Limited edition of 99 copies, numbered and signed. Height 38 cm.

About RobiN

The artist, born in Munich in 1948, felt no urge to study nude drawing for years at an art academy. He preferred to take his path of art into his own hands. This path led to free art following a preoccupation with philosophical questions. Within a short time, he found his style. Bright colours and free abstract form inventions are as much a part of it as mischievous references to the real world of objects. He implements his ideas and visions with great artistic skill, whether in painting or sculpture.

The breakthrough for RobiN came very quickly. His works can now be seen in many galleries and museums around the world, including the Museum of Tolerance of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, where he is the first German of non-Jewish faith to be represented.
