EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture titled "Hand of a Pianist (Richard Buhlig)" by Gaston Lachaise. Created in 1928 and cast around 1952, this bronze masterpiece stands at a height of 52.1cm. The sculpture is based on the right hand and arm of renowned concert pianist Richard Buhlig, who lived from 1889 to 1952. Lachaise skillfully captures the essence of music-making through intricate details and a distinctive brown patina. In this close-up shot, we witness the hand reaching out with grace and precision, symbolizing the artist's deep connection to his craft. The decorative technique employed adds an element of elegance to this musical tribute. Lachaise's work beautifully encapsulates the physicality and passion involved in playing the piano. With no person present in the image, it allows us to focus solely on the artistry depicted within this single object. As an American artist, Gaston Lachaise made significant contributions to both painting and sculpting during his lifetime. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to capture movement and emotion through metalwork. With its rich history dating back to early twentieth-century America, this photograph transports us back in time while reminding us of timeless artistic possibilities.
