NAUM ARONSON (RUSSIAN 1872-1943)
Bust of Ludwig van Beethoven
c. 1905
bronze with dark brown patina
height: 35 cm
inscribed ' Aronson Bonn 1905' on back
LOT NOTES:
Naum Aronson created the first of the famed busts of Beethoven on the occasion of the composer`s 135 birthday. In 1905, Aronson visited Beethoven`s hometown, Bonn, where he attended a chamber music festival organized by the Beethoven-Haus. The experience must have had a strong effect on the young artist, as he began to sculpt a series of drafts, culminating in the sculpture that is now housed in the harden of the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn, Germany.
