About the artist

The German sculptor began to study with Robert Härtel and Christian Behrens at the Breslau Art School in 1884. A few years later, he received his first significant commissions for monuments.
In 1893, he traveled to Paris and worked in the studio of Auguste Rodin for one year before opening his own studio in Berlin. Seger became popular through his Art Nouveau sculptures, particularly those of female nudes. Ernst Seger's oeuvre moves stylistically between various influences and displays the formal tendencies of the New Baroque, Neoclassicist, Art Nouveau, and Symbolism movements.
