Paul Wunderlich wurde 1927 in Eberswalde in der Mark Brandenburg geboren und verstarb 2010 in Saint-Pierre-de-Vassols. Wunderlich studierte an der späteren Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg in der Klasse "Freie Graphik" bei Willi Titze. Von 1961 bis 1963 lebte und arbeitete Wunderlich in Paris. Der Künstler gestaltete in seinen neosurrealistischen Bildern und Skulpturen überwiegend erotische und mythologische Themen. Er gilt als stilbildender Künstler der Moderne und als Hauptvertreter des phantastischen Realismus. Wunderlich lebte und arbeitete in Hamburg und Saint-Pierre-de-Vassols (Provence).

Features and remarks
Here you have the opportunity to add a striking piece to your collection of Paul Wunderlich's works.
The bronze relief, issued in 1979 in a limited edition of 900 copies, was produced using the sand casting process. The work has a dark brown, matt shimmering patina. Wunderlich's signature is punched into the bronze at the bottom right.
Aphrodite, known as Venus in Roman, was the goddess of love, beauty and sensual desire to the ancient Greeks. The daughter of Uranus or Zeus is also called the "foam-born" because she is said to have risen from the sea. Thus, she is often depicted with the attribute of the shell.
Wunderlich shows the female goddess as a torso sensuously shaped by veils and whose pubis is covered by a shell. Here, the artist congenially shows how erotic charms are created precisely through skilful concealment and how the artist manages to stage lightness, even though the material (here bronze) is anything but light.
