Clemens Pasch

I had never heard of this artist until I watched a Youtube video from the German TV show "Bares fuer Rares" (Cash for Rare Things). The US equivalent is "Antiques Roadshow".

Someone brought a Pasch sculpture into the TV studio for evaluation. The style is somewhat typical for the modernism of the 1950s-1960s. A realistic but simplified design with an almost two dimensional graphic approach. Pasch's work also includes humor in the way his human and animal sculpts are proportioned and staged.

I found this delightful work by him called Adam & Eve (The Apple) online.

Pasch lived from 1910 to 1985.

  1. Bei dem, was ich in meinem näheren familiären Umfeld mitbekommen habe ist Bares für Rares sehr beliebt und das scheint in ganz Deutschland so zu sein 😊...Beim Anblick der Adam und Eva Skulptur von Clemens Pasch musste ich aus persönlichen Gründen erst Mal kurz auflachen.😃Ich hatte ein extrem positives DejaVu Gefühl! 😊😇
    Danke, dass sie gerade diese Skulptur gepostet haben! ☺️
