Alois Reinitzer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alois Reinitzer , often written in France as Aloïs Reinitzer, (born February 20, 1865 in Prague , † 1917 in Graz ) was an Austro-Hungarian sculptor and chaser .

He can be confused with the Prague publisher Alois Reinitzer (publishers: Schönfelder & Reinitzer, from 1863 A. Reinitzer, from 1869 Reinitzer & Popitz, from 1870 Reinitzer & Co.).

Life

He was the brother of the chemist Benjamin Reinitzer (1855-1928) and the biologist and chemist Friedrich Reinitzer (1857-1927).

Reinitzer attended a German-language high school in Prague. He then moved to Vienna in 1883 to take courses at the Academy of Fine Arts with Edmund von Hellmer . Two years later he moved back to Prague to study at the newly founded arts and crafts school. From 1885 to 1888 he completed the three-year basic course with a focus on figure and ornament modeling. This was followed from 1888 to 1890 by Josef Václav Myslbek's specialist study of sculpture with a focus on figurative representation . From 1889 to 1890, at the same time, he was a one-year intern in the special course on artistic-industrial metalworking. In the years 1890 and 1891 he worked in Munich. From 1891 to 1895 he worked in Berlin in the same house as Heinrich Günther-Gera and created decorative elements for the Reichstag. He then moved to Paris and studied at the Académie Julian in Paris under Denys Puech . He remained loyal to the city until 1915.

Reinitzer made his breakthrough in Paris in 1896 with a filigree statue on the Salon des Champs-Élysées , organized by the Société des Artistes Français , later called Salon des Artistes Français to better differentiate it . In 1899 he applied for his own producer's mark for jewelry made of precious metal, because he made silver jewelry on behalf of customers. He got a hallmark with the abbreviation ER for the name Eloi Reinitzer, which was returned unused.

The Kunstverein für Böhmen saw the statue of the Egyptian harp player as a craft work and viewed him as German Bohemia.

Reinitzer took part in the Paris Exposition universelle de 1900 as an artist for Austria. In his category Sculpture et Gravure en Médailles et sur Pierres fines , in German: sculptures and engravings on medals and on flat stones , he and 150 other artists from all over the world were awarded a Médaille de Bronze , the highest award in the category.

He created statues for home furnishing and artistic objects for representation and everyday use. For example, desk utensils in Art Nouveau style. In addition, he made finely chiseled portraits on contemporary pieces of jewelery. Reinitzer had worked for La Maison Arnould in Paris since 1909 , which under the Arnould Editeur line sold elaborate accessories and objects from hat pins to flower pots in Art Nouveau style.

In December 1915 his property in Paris was placed under fiduciary management, as was the property of other managers and company owners of German, Austrian or Hungarian nationality who left France.
