Ludwig Chateau
Ludwig Edmund Chateau (born November 8, 1906 in Düsseldorf ; † January 20, 1975 ) was a Düsseldorf artist and sculptor.
Life
Ludwig Chateau, born as the son of the locksmith Joseph Chateau (1878–1942) and his wife Maria, b. Kaiser (* 1879), studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Hubert Netzer and Alexander Zschokke . He became known as the “master of small forms” through his small-format animal sculptures with reduced forms. The art association for the Rhineland and Westphalia has published the bronze figures duck (1973), hedgehog (around 1965) and humpback cattle (1969) as limited annual editions. Chateau called his animal sculptures with their soft curves "finger flatterers". The Rheinische Post wrote in an article about the memorial exhibition Chateaus: “The concentration he invested in his work is its power and charisma. Impulsive life and controlled, reducing abstraction are brought into formal equilibrium in them. "
