偽善者で中傷者

Franz Xaver Messerschmidt German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 639

オーストリアの彫刻師メッサーシュミットは、晩年、性格描写を目的とした頭像制作に没頭し、金属または雪花石こうで60数点を制作しました。これらの作品は、感情を表情に表す芸術的美術的伝統を認めながらも、物理的な感覚と感情を結びつける当時の医学理論も反映しています。この作品を含め、なかには非常に内省的なものもあります。写実性と抽象性を融合させた非常に独創的なこの頭像は、顎を胸につけ、頭の禿げかかった小太りの男を表していますが、集中した皺と左右対称の顎の回りの肉のたるみが緊張感のある模様を作り出しています。
