The Successful Sculptor and Symbol of the \u201cNeue Frau\u201d<\/p>\n
Ren\u00e9e Sintenis (b. 1888, Glatz; d. 1965, Berlin) belongs to the first generation of professional female sculptors at the beginning of the twentieth century. She made skillful use of her business relations with her gallerist Alfred Flechtheim, who introduced her to collectors in Paris, London, and New York. The market for, in particular, her lively, small animal sculptures was quite lucrative. These experienced renewed popularity in the 1950s through her Berlin Bear<\/em> statuette, which has been presented in a small version at the Berlin International Film Festival since 1960. The catalog sheds light on the sculptor\u2019s diverse oeuvre and provides insight into the self-image of one of the most successful women artists of the Weimar Republic, who embodied the type \u201cNeue Frau\u201d (new woman) due to her dazzling appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1837,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2208,2217],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1625","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-all-books","7":"product_cat-sculpture","9":"first","10":"outofstock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
