Putto and Flamingo- Otto Placzek (1884-1968) # 3123

Early bronze work by Otto Placzek, (1884-1968) well-known German sculptor and medalist. This bronze, measuring 6 3/4" tall, shows a putto figure holding a Flamingo. It is probably a study, or preliminary sketch model. Signed in the bronze: O. Placzek-Berlin. There also is an illegible foundry name. Excellent condition with all of its original foundry applied verdigris patina.  
 
Before the First World War Placzek was a fellow of the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin in the Villa Massimo in Rome. In the Schwarzenburger workshops for porcelain art Unterweissbach he designed ceramics. In the Second World War the first planetarium in Berlin at the Train Station Zoo (opened 1926) was destroyed along with several ceramic works by Otto Placzek.
In 1922 he made a bronze bust Friedrich Eichhorst, the father of Franz Eichhorst(1885 1948), one of the most famous painter/war painter of the Third Reich, with over 50 works between 1937 and 1945 on the great German art exhibitions in Munich and was represented by Hitler.  In 1938 he was awarded the title of professor.
Placzek participated in the art competitions at the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1932 and 1936 in Berlin. For the Berlin Olympics he designed the participation medals of the NOC. Four more cast bronze medals were created for the participants of the Rad-Stern-Fahrt to Berlin, the flight and car competitions as well as for the pigeon breeders. On the reverse of the medals was the Olympic bell.
During the Second World War he created some honor and war badges for the Wehrmacht, like
the insignia for the blockade crusher,
the navy artillery war badges,
Minesweeper and
Demjanskschild  (1943).
