Roland Paris Bronze Statue Glider 1933 Schneider Grunau Baby Glider
About the Item
Roland Paris Bronze Statue Glider 1933. Originally based on the Schneider Grunau Baby Glider from 1931. This glider held the world record for the longest continuous flight, over 22 hours. It was the most-flown glider until 1935. This scarce piece was initially exhibited at the Marienpalast Exhibition in 1933. It is not typical of the kind of statues rendered by the artist. It is in original condition with an exceptional almost anodized-looking finish.
Roland Paris (1894-1945) was born in Vienna, Austria. He went to Berlin and studied with Henry van der Velde, co-founder of the Bauhaus school. His specialty was humorous, sometimes sad, and occasionally satirical bronze and ivory figures, often with exaggerated facial expressions. His works command high prices and are sought after by avid collectors.
Roland Paris is one of the most recognizable artists of the Art Deco world, yet his work remains an enigma. His art is caricature-like, bordering grotesque, and he delivers critical perspectives on society’s downtrodden via jesters and devils. His mediums range from sculpture and painting to porcelain and wood, including woodcuts and the written word” Alberto Shayo.

Total height: 53cm Base: 13cm x 46.5cm Weight: 16 Kg Friedrich Richard Roland Paris (March 18, 1894 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary - May 4, 1945 in Swinemünde, Germany) was a German caricaturist, writer of satirical verse, graphic designer, painter and Art Deco sculptor. Roland Paris attended the Grand-Ducal Realgymnasium in Weimar from 1905. From 1909, he was a student at the Saxon Grand-Ducal School of Applied Arts in Weimar. Here, in 1912, he received second and third prizes as well as 25 points in a competition for the design of emblems for student associations, which he continued to produce for two or three years. Some of these works showed the influence of Art Nouveau, others included more modern approaches. In 1912, Paris took a course in sculpture at the Saxon Grand-Ducal School of Art in Weimar with the sculptor Gottlieb Elster. He then went to Munich, where he completed internships with several sculptors. In 1913, he returned to the school of Fine arts in Weimar and studied painting with Walther Klemm. In June 1915 he received his call up order for the Eastern Front of World War I and served first in a commando unit and then in the Air Force Inspectorate (IdFlieg) .
