Totila Albert (The german Rodin)


Hi!!! Welll today I wont show you one of my favourite piece of art. This is "La Tierra" ("The Earth" in English) of Totila Albert, he is a chilean sculptor who born in 1892 in Santiago Chile, in 1915 he went to Germany to study and work in Berlin`s Fine Arts Academy. He count with his colleague`s appreciation, he to belong to 28` generation and his work was given a very good reception, even was call "The German Rodin". He most back to Chile in 1939 after his works and studio was destroy in middle of second world war (Totila had german-judish origin).


The first time that I saw his works was in a Contemporary Art Museum`s leaflet(MAC). I love how Totila understand the human`s anatomy and its means. I hope you like it too.
