Sculpture by Ferdinand Preiss (France)

Ferdinand Preiss (1882-1963) was a German-born sculptor who lived and worked in France for most of his career. He is best known for his Art Deco sculptures, which often featured stylized animals and figures.

Preiss was born in Erbach im Odenwald, Germany, in 1882. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Offenbach am Main and the Académie Julian in Paris. In 1908, he opened his own studio in Paris.

Preiss's early work was influenced by the Jugendstil movement, which was popular in Germany and Austria at the turn of the 20th century. His sculptures from this period are characterized by their flowing lines and organic forms.

In the 1920s, Preiss's style began to change. He was influenced by the Art Deco movement, which was characterized by its geometric forms and stylized ornamentation. Preiss's Art Deco sculptures often featured stylized animals and figures, such as his famous more... "Dog" and "Cat" sculptures.

Preiss's work was exhibited in major galleries and museums around the world. He won numerous awards for his work, including the Grand Prix at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris.

Preiss continued to work until his death in 1963. His work is still admired and collected by people all over the world.

Ferdinand Preiss was a talented sculptor who made significant contributions to the Art Deco movement and is considered one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. less...
