Georg Kolbe
Georg Kolbe is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
German sculptor Georg Kolbe carved smooth, athletic figures in bronze and stone. His 20th-century sculpture *Badende* shows a standing nude with quiet balance, while an untitled photograph captures the same figure in sharp light. Kolbe worked in Berlin where his studio became a meeting place for artists. The quiet strength in his poses makes you want to walk around the piece and feel the weight shift as you move. See how he handles light on skin next in *Badende*.
