Description
-
Along with Vally Wieselthier and Kitty Rix, Gudrun Baudisch was one of Josef Hoffmann’s most gifted female students at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts and was one of those Wiener Werkstätte employees who achieved a new quality of expressivity in figural ceramics. The ceramic works by Baudisch, like those by Wieselthier and Rix, helped define the late output of the Wiener Werkstätte, and she modeled the coloration and stylization of her work on African tribal art. With the colors of its glaze and the ecstatically elongated head and limbs, this figure brings to mind certain female dancers—such as Grete Wiesenthal (1885–1970)—who were well-known in Vienna around 1920.
(Franz, Rainald)
