Georg Curt Bauch (1887-1967) The artist was born on the 11th of July, 1887, as son of Meissen porcelain painter Wilhelm Bauch in Meissen. He first studied at the School of Applied Arts in Dresden as pupil of Hugo Spieler and attended the Academy as student of Robert Diez thereafter. In 1914 Bauch won the Prix de Rome of the Academy. This was followed by numerous trips to Rome, Palermo, Agrigento, Paris and Copenhagen. In 1917 he built a studio with its own ore foundry in Dresden-Loschwitz. Among others he took part in the Große Berliner Kunstausstellung in 1925. Bauch’s consistent antifascist attitude led to existential problems and thus in 1944 he fled to Brione sopra Minusio. Besides busts Bauch also created animal sculptures and plaques as well as fine figural compositions. His works can be admired among others at the Municipal Museum in Bautzen, at the Albertina in Dresden and in Zurich (Secretariat of the City President).
