The Kunstakademie Düsseldorf possesses a bronze cast from Wilhelm Lehmbrucks sculpture “Badende”, that was already acquired 1905. He studied there from 1901 until 1906 and created the “Badende” during his studies from 1902 on.
His sculpture “Badende” (1902–1905), offers a particularly vivid evocation of Wilhelm Lehmbruck’s approach to the stylistic pluralism of the Gründerzeit and Neoclassicism. The smoothness of the surfaces, the idealisation of feminine beauty, the proportions of the figure, and its pose, as well as its timelessness, are testament to the classical training that Lehmbruck received in Düsseldorf.
Most of his sculptures are free-standing and executed in the round. The viewer needs to look at them from all sides to capture the figure in its entirety. Their strict approach to form adheres to the principles of sculpture established as far back as Ancient Greece: Wilhelm Lehmbruck distinguishes between the engaged leg and the free leg, and fixed proportions (which he terms “measure” or “dimensions”) determine the shape of the body. A slightly twisted pose, with the upper body bent to the left and the bather’s right elbow splayed to the side, break up the fixed arrangement of the sculpture. The soft curves of the nude body, along with the position of the right hand on the hip and the left on the calf, correspond to the overall impression of the calm attitude of the bather which Wilhelm Lehmbruck seeks to convey to us.
