Maratka H.: 22,44 in. Provenance : Collection Charles Auzoux ; Puis par descendance Expositions : 'Les trésors retrouvés des ateliers d'artistes au temps de Rodin. Collection Charles Auzoux 1870-1910', Paris, Louvre des Antiquaires, 5 mai - 10 septembre 1995, p. 75, n° XXVI-28, repr. p. 30 Commentaire : Josef Maratka est un sculpteur tchèque né à Prague et qui fit la rencontre décisive d'Auguste Rodin lors de son voyage à Paris en 1900. Il devient son praticien et son art en fut profondément marqué. Alors que ses sculptures étaient jusque-là inspirées de l'Art nouveau international, il fut bouleversé par l'expressionisme de Rodin puis par celui de Bourdelle. On suppose que Charles Auzoux fit la connaissance du sculpteur lors de son passage dans l'atelier du maître de La Porte de l'Enfer dont le collectionneur était très proche. Notre plâtre patiné témoigne de ce mélange astucieux entre la passion de Rodin pour le corps masculin mouvementé et une iconographie symboliste jumelée à un rendu plastique encore sage. Estimation 1 000 - 1 500 €

Est: -
Josef Mařatka created the first variant of the sculpture with the theme of Kiss in 1909. This was followed by the variants There was May 1, Wave and Ursus and Lygia from the same year. In all the mentioned sculptures the relationship between two tightly closed figures is elaborated. Maratka in these chamber sculptures was based on the impressionist method of modeling acquired during his stay in the studio of August Rodin. The theme of the embracing couple was worked out by Rodin himself several times. Despite the fact that during the 1920s Mařatka's work was directed towards a realistic way of understanding the sculpture, in 1921 he created a monument to the Kiss for Letenské sady on the basis of these sculptures. The architecture of the pedestal was designed by Jan Kotěra. The sculpture Polibek was originally located in Letenské sady. In 1945 it was moved to Petřín to Růžový sad.
