Beautiful Bronze Bull Sculpture by Gerhard Marcks

This bronze bull sculpture by Gerhard Marcks (1889–1981) is a lyrical expression of modernist form, bridging the realms of figuration and abstraction. As a leading figure of the Bauhaus movement, Marcks was known for his sculptural work that emphasized organic simplicity, volume, and an intuitive connection to nature. His approach drew inspiration from classical antiquity, German Expressionism, and the restrained geometry of modernism, resulting in pieces that feel both timeless and deeply poetic.

The bull’s softened, almost gestural form captures a quiet strength, evoking the essence of the animal rather than rigid anatomical precision. The richly patinated surface enhances the sense of movement and vitality, hallmarks of Marcks' sculptural language. Now part of the Lemieux Et Cie Vintage Collection, this rare and collectible work speaks to the enduring power of modernist sculpture—where form, material, and emotion coalesce in perfect harmony.
