EN: The bronze sculpture Begegnung "Vogelmensch" (Encounter "Birdman") is located next to another in a garden in a residential area south of the Goetheanum in Dornach. The area is apparently within private premises but is freely accessible; the sculptures are labeled.
The sculpture is about four meters high and contains clearly identifiable components, such as the bird's head or a human hand, while other parts are abstract and just loosely resemble something real. The sculpture was created 1971-1974.
The sculpture was created by Raoul Ratnowsky (1912-1999), a Swiss artist who felt closely connected to anthroposophy and worked from 1952 at nearby Goethanum as a teacher of sculptural design.
DE: Die Bronzeskulptur Begegnung "Vogelmensch" befindet sich neben anderen in einem Garten in einem Wohngebiet südlich des Goetheanums in Dornach. Das Gebiet ist offenbar Privatgelände, aber frei zugänglich; die Skulpturen sind beschriftet.
Die Skulptur ist rund vier Meter hoch und beinhaltet klar erkennbare Bestandteile, wie den Vogelkopf oder eine menschliche Hand, während andere Teile abstrakt sind und höchstens entfernt an etwas reales erinnern. Die Skulptur wurde zwischen 1971 und 1974 geschaffen.
Die Skulptur stammt von Raoul Ratnowsky (1912-1999), einem Schweizer Bildhauer, der sich eng mit der Anthroposophie verbunden fühlte und ab 1952 als Lehrer für plastische Gestaltung am nahe gelegenen Goethanum wirkte.
