About Wilhelm Busch
1832-1908
The painter, draughtsman and poet Wilhelm Busch became the best-known German artist of his time with humorous picture stories. He is considered the founder of modern caricature. His rhymes and drawings form a central part of German cultural heritage today.
Wilhelm Busch studied in Antwerp, Munich and Düsseldorf. In his own words, the artist spent the best time of his life in 1841-46 as a student in Ebergötzen, where he hatched many pranks with the miller's son, Erich Bachmann. This friendship and shared childhood memories gave rise to his famous story: "Max and Moritz: A Story of Seven Boyish Pranks", probably the most translated and read children's book in the world...
Graphic or sculpture edition that was initiated by ars mundi and is available only at ars mundi or at distribution partners licensed by ars mundi.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, 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.
