biography

Figures from the Viennese manufacture Friedrich Goldscheider were in international demand at the end of the 19th century and especially in the 1920s and met the taste of a wide audience. Goldscheider is one of the most successful companies in European ceramic history.

Right from the start, the “Porzellan-Manufactur und Majolica-Fabrik” relied on serially produced, high-quality goods designed by young artists. A range of products - with figures, busts, animals, masks, vessels, lamps - met the various customer requirements, and in 70 years more than 10,000 models made of faience and terracotta as well as bronze and alabaster have been produced. Figures and vessels at the highest artistic and technical level were created in the typical styles of historicism, Art Nouveau and Art Deco . In 1938 the Goldscheider company was Aryanized and managed by Josef Schuster during the war years. He made sure that new models corresponded to the prevailing Nazi aesthetic. Peasant figures in rough shapes now expanded the range, and the nude figures with chaste facial expressions and moral hairstyle from this period remained in fashion until the 1950s.

The Goldscheider objects were created in collaboration with the artists Walter Bosse , Alexandre-Louis-Marie Charpentier, Demétre Chiparus , Stephan Dakon , Claire Weiss-Herczeg , Benno Geiger , Kurt Goebel , Rudolf Knörlein , Dina Kuhn , Josef Lorenzl , Ida Meisinger , Michael Powolny , Adolf Prischl , Hans Stephan Stoltenberg Lerche , Arthur Strasser , Wilhelm Thomasch , Vally Wieselthier . Artists who worked for Goldscheider also worked for the Viennese manufacturers Augarten , Keramos or the German brands Rosenthal or Meißener Porzellan .
