Description

Impressive bronze cast Hitler bust by the artistEmil Cauer (Der Jüngere), Berlin. The large bust is photographed next to a gasmask canister to show the immense size of approximately 1,5 to twice life size. This bust was made in Berlin and stayed there until last week when it was found. The bust is in good, uncleaned condition. The bust has no marble base, but this could easily be added if desired. The footing of the bust is slightly bent and does not stand without support but this could possibly be bent straight. The bust was sculpted byEmil Cauerwhich was a well known sculptor from Berlin who made numerous large monuments in Berlin.He was the son of the sculptor Karl Cauer. He had four brothers of which Robert, Ludwig and Hugo all became sculptors and Hans who became a painter. He admitted two artworks to both the 1938 and 1941Große Deutsche Kunstausstellung. It is possible that this bust was on display at this display as the other known wartime sculpt is that ofHermann Göringbut I have not yet been able researche that. The bust is a rare, large example that is very hard to obtain.
