Are there still real "classic" among the sculptors? Artists who create works that stand in the tradition of their art, open and undisguised inherit know how to act currently the Great in their field? So is Erwin A. Schinzel is one of them. His works show a time when accuracy and perfection of appearance were still highest standards of sculpture of the traditional sovereignty. He ignores deliberately all fashions and Modernisms of the century, which includes his life time substantially.

Schinzel is noticed by his creative genius: Barely twenty years old, he attended the Academy of Arts in Berlin and was included the small, exclusive circle of master student of Arno Breker. Travels took him to Greece and Crete, where he studied the ancient examples of sculpture.

For eight decades, he was a freelance artist and has created in this period, hundreds of sculptures; in addition, he was a professor at the International Academy of Arts and Visual to Altenburg and at the International Academy in Bologna. His sculptures have one main topic: the people and this in uninterrupted beauty. The beauty comes without interruption to their right, and it is in a sense the eye of the beholder, which is celebrated here.

"Man, which again gives the experience of his environment with creative talent, to make the people happy in it again, can only and have to see with the eyes of the soul, to speak a language with his hands that is timeless and knows no bounds." (Erwin A. Schinzel).

Schinzel Works in his studio in Waldbronn, in which he still pursues his creative work every day, can be found in numerous collections in the country and abroad.
