Hermann Brellochs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Wilhelm Brellochs (born July 22, 1899 in Heilbronn , † June 22, 1979 in Stuttgart ) was a German sculptor who "became internationally known." He created portrait busts for Tokyo, San Francisco, Budapest, Berlin, Hanover and Munich, who document his “rank as a designer of sensitively nuanced Baroque portraits in bronze and terracotta.” His works have been represented in numerous exhibitions. Among other things in the Great German Art Exhibition organized by the National Socialists in the Haus der Kunst in Munich (1937, 1938, 1939 and 1941).

Life

Hermann Wilhelm Brellochs received his first artistic inspiration as a private student with Walther Eberbach . Then he studied from 1924 to 1928 with Hanssen at the TH Stuttgart . From 1924 to 1928 he worked as a technical assistant. In 1930 he gave a large special exhibition to Alfred Flechtheim in Berlin. From 1930 to 1939 he worked as a research assistant at the TH Stuttgart.

In the post-war period he was particularly active in architectural sculpture. He created fountains, memorials, reliefs and sculptures on buildings in a number of cities in southern Germany.

In the last years of his work he created many small figurative bronze reliefs, or greatly simplified animal sculptures and statuettes. Three small bronze works by Brelloch are shown on an auction catalog of the Stuttgart art auction house Nagel . So Europe on the bull a bronze relief approx. 17 × 27 cm, sun goddess , a bronze relief 41.5 × 28 cm and a bird bronze on plinth, height 22 cm.

The fountain consisted of a pillar on which a dolphin reared up. The front body of the dolphin leaned on the column, similar to a Persian capital or Achaemenid capital, and pushed its back body upwards, the fins curling up so that the dolphin slightly suggested the shape of the figure eight. The column itself was divided by two water bowls, the top bowl being directly below the water-spouting dolphin. The lowest bowl was on the floor, right at the foot of the column.
