Synopsis
Johann Philipp Ferdinand Preiss (1882-1943) was the most prolific sculptor of the Art Deco period in Germany; he combined ivory, bronze, onyx and marble to create the most dazzling sculptures of his day. Preiss entered into an apprenticeship with his uncle, a master ivory carver, at the age of sixteen, following the death of his parents. He went on to become the most important Art Deco sculptor in Germany and, indeed one of the most accomplished in the whole of Europe, during the Nazi period. This book, the only work devoted entirely to this subject, follows the development of ivory carving in Erbach, Germany, focusing on the life and work of one of the country's most talented and prodigious sons. The political climate which Preiss and other artists were forced to endure during this time, its difficulties, constraints and influences on their work, is also explored. Extensive research into Nazi archives, interviews with family members, recently unearthed documents and the most comprehensive collection. 190 colour & 38 b/w illustrations, The first monograph of Art Deco sculptor Ferdinand Preiss and the product of much diligent research. The only book to deal with Preiss' history in such immense detail.

    A++ transaction. Speakers are as described showing the signs of 40 year-old speakers and sound fantastic! Arrived well-packaged. Shipping, while not seller's fault, was slow taking 11 days for a trip that can be as little as 2-3 days. Not the first time lately that eBay shipments have been extraordinary slow considering point of origin and destination. Thanks
