Biography:
Else Bach was a German sculptor born in 1899 in Heidelberg, died in 1951 in Pforzheim.
She came to Pforzheim as a child and received her first artistic training at the city's School of Arts and Crafts. She started out as a painter, but her interest in plastic art was awakened. Her main teacher was the sculptor Emil Salm from Pforzheim, with whom she received training in various sculpting techniques. Else Bach went on study trips in Germany and abroad. Her destinations were often zoos in large cities, as representations of animals formed a large part of her work. Bambi', the fawn she created in clay in 1936 and later used for the German television and media prize, is her best-known sculpture and the result of her intensive collaboration with the Staatliche Majolika-Manufaktur in Karlsruhe, for which she designed almost 50 animal figurines (fawns, deer, a group of horses and riders, foals, donkeys, goats, kids, etc.). ). In 1939, she exhibited a group of donkeys at the Great German Art Exhibition.
