Serge Mangin
Serge Mangin (* 1947 in Paris ) is a French sculptor in Munich.
Life
After May 1968 he moved from France to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1971 . In Munich he studied sculpture with Anton Rückel , who particularly distinguished himself through Christian art . Mangin is a sculptor, watercolorist and book illustrator. The woman and the landscape of the Mediterranean area are preferred subjects . He gained international recognition primarily through busts of George HW Bush , Michail Gorbatschow , Ernst Jünger , Helmut Kohl , Hans Küng , Karl Schlecht , Erwin Teufel , Henry Miller , Friedrich Nietzsche , Luciano Pavarotti and Arthur Schopenhauer . "They reflect the spirit of the Enlightenment and give the idea of Europe depth and historical authenticity."
"At a time when we are obliged to save the animals, the air, the plants and the water, we should present an image of man that is credible."
The French ambassador François Scheer appointed Mangin in 1995 as Chevalier des Ordre des Arts et des Lettres . In 2012 Mangin published a pamphlet against the ideology of money, which has become a religious dogma.
