Bruno Zach

(Austrian, 1891–1945)

Bruno Zach was a Ukrainian-born Austrian sculptor best known for his bronze and ivory Art Deco sculpture. A pioneering and controversial figure of the Art Nouveau era, he often focused on erotic subject matter. Zach’s elegant figurines frequently depicted dominatrixes, as in his iconic The Riding Crop, a bronze sculpture of woman in garter and heels holding the crop behind her back. He would also sculpt explicit scenes of fellatio and sexual intercourse, while also pursuing more traditional genre subject matter like dancers, mythological creatures, or horseback riders. Born on May 6, 1891 in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, the artist went on to study under Hans Bitterlich and Josef Mullner at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Zach reportedly spent much of his life in Berlin and Vienna carousing with prostitutes and at night clubs, where he found both lovers and models for his provocative sculptures. Zach died at the age of 53 on February 20, 1945 in Vienna, Austria. Today, his works are in the collection of the Art Deco Museum in Moscow.
